SAN DIEGO (AP) — Alfonso Rivas of the Chicago Cubs got a two-run homer when his fly ball to deep center field bounced out of the glove of rookie Jose Azocar and went over the fence Tuesday night.
Azocar was starting in place of Trent Grisham, who won a Gold Glove in 2021, because the Padres were facing lefty Wade Miley. Azocar, slumped to the ground in disappointment after the play. The ball might not have gotten out without the redirection.
The homer by Rivas, who grew up in nearby Chula Vista and went to La Jolla Country Day, tied the game at 2 in the third inning. It was his second and came off Mike Clevinger, who was making his first start in San Diego since Sept. 23, 2020. He missed all of last season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden wants to put a spotlight on the spike in food prices from Russia's invasion of Ukraine when he travels to an Illinois farm to emphasize how U.S. agricultural exports can relieve the financial pressures being felt worldwide.
The war in Ukraine has disrupted the supply of that country's wheat to global markets, while also triggering higher costs for oil, natural gas and fertilizer. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said its food price index in April jumped nearly 30% from a year ago, though the index did decline slightly on a monthly basis. Americans are also bearing some pain as food prices are up 8.8% from a year ago, the most since May 1981.
The trip to Illinois on Wednesday is an opportunity for Biden to tackle two distinct challenges that are shaping his presidency. First, his approval has been dogged by high inflation and his visit will coincide with the release of the May consumer price index, which economists say should show a declining rate of inflation for the first time since August.
But much more broadly, it's an opportunity to reinforce America's distinct role in helping to alleviate the challenges caused by the war in Ukraine. The trip follows a similar pattern as Biden's recent visit to an Alabama weapons factory highlighted the anti-tank Javelin missiles provided by the U.S. to Ukraine.
“He’s going to talk about the support we need to continue to give to farmers to help continue to produce more and more domestically,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday. “Just as we are providing weapons, we are going to work on doing what we can to support farmers to provide more wheat and other food around the world.”
The president noted in remarks Tuesday about inflation that Ukraine has 20 million metric tons of wheat and corn in storage that the U.S. and its allies are trying to help ship out of the country. This would help to address some supply issues, though challenges could persist.
Several House Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, met with Biden on Tuesday after having visited Ukraine. They warned that the food shortage meant the consequences of the war started by Russian President Vladimir Putin would extend well beyond Ukrainian borders to some of the world's poorest nations.
“It's going to result in a hunger crisis, much worse than anybody anticipated,” Massachusetts Rep. Jim McGovern following the White House meeting.
An analysis this month for the center-right American Enterprise Institute by Joseph Glauber and David Laborde noted that countries in the Middle East and North Africa are mostly likely to suffer from the higher prices caused by grain shortages.
There are limits to how much wheat the U.S. can produce to offset any shortages. The Agriculture Departmen t estimated in March that 47.4 million acres of wheat were planted this year, an increase of just 1% from 2021. This would be the fifth lowest amount of acres dedicated to wheat in records that go back to 1919.
Biden will be traveling with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to Illinois. After the president speaks at the farm, he will go to Chicago to speak at a convention for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Biden-sees-bigger-role-for-US-farms-due-to-17164188.php | 2022-05-11T05:35:23Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Biden-sees-bigger-role-for-US-farms-due-to-17164188.php | false | 45 |

Charlize Theron shares first images of her MCU character Clea and fans are ‘thrilled’
In Marvel comics, Clea is ‘great love of Doctor Strange’ but also his ‘formidable equal as a sorcerer’
‘Not even remotely close’: Charlize Theron reveals people have been pronouncing her name incorrectly
Charlize Theron has shared the first images of her Marvel Cinematic Universe character Clea.
On Wednesday 11 May, the 46-year-old actor shared two photos on social media platforms that give a quick look at her in Clea’s makeup and costume.
Theron captioned the post: “Meet Clea.”
The Mad Max: Fury Road actor’s character has a post-credits scene in Disney and Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
In an interview with Deadline’s Hero Nation podcast last week, screenwriter Michael Waldron talked about Theron’s character.
“First off – Charlize Theron, holy s***!” he said. “We always knew we wanted to introduce Clea, who in the comics is, you could say, the great love of Doctor Strange but really in a lot of ways his formidable equal as a sorcerer herself.
“Her backstory is fascinating; she’s the niece of Dormammu, the giant floating head from the first movie.”
He added: “[Doctor Strange and Clea] have a lot of great adventures in the comics, and we knew we wanted to introduce her. But it felt like we had to close the book, to some extent, on his love story with Christine Palmer – the Rachel McAdams character – and so Doctor Strange hears that wisdom from Christine to face his fears and be open to the idea of loving someone.”
“And then along comes Clea, and I guess we’ll see what happens next between the two of them,” he said.
Many MCU fans are thrilled about Theron’s character.
“Of all the surprise castings for one of my favorite characters in the comics, Charlize is the biggest one yet,” one fan wrote.
Another person added: “Perfect casting.”

Kriti Sanon doesn't need a gym to workout. She has got the mountains
Kriti Sanon is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film Ganapath in Ladakh. The actor may be having a hectic schedule of shoots and traveling, but it is not a good excuse enough to miss out on her workouts. Kriti believes that for workouts, a space or a gym is not needed at all. The actor pumped up her midweek workouts with a short video of herself working out in nature, with nature in the midst of a valley surrounded by mountains. Kriti is a dedicated fitness enthusiast who swears by high intensity workouts and yoga. The actor’s Instagram profile is replete with pictures and videos of herself engrossed in several workout positions.
ALSO READ: When it comes to kickboxing, there are 'no excuses’ for Kriti Sanon
A day back, Kriti shared a video of herself working out with her team in the hills. In the video, Kriti with her team for company can be seen using rocks from the mountains as weights to ace squats. In the later part of the video, they can be seen acing squat jumps in sync together. “Who needs a gym to work out,” Kriti wrote in her caption. We agree. With the mountains surrounding the actor and her team and using elements from nature to use as equipment, gym is not needed for workouts at all. Take a look at her video here:
Squats are an intense routine focused on burning calories and helping in losing weight. Performing squats also helps in strengthening the tendons, bones and ligaments around the leg muscles. It also helps in working out of the hip muscles, calves, hamstrings and obliques. Squat jumps, on the other hand, helps in improving strength, mobility and balance of the body. It also helps in strengthening bones, muscles and improving cardiovascular fitness. Squat jumps also help in toning the butts, legs and abs and improving circulation. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/kriti-sanon-doesn-t-need-a-gym-to-workout-she-has-got-the-mountains-101652244641231-amp.html | 2022-05-11T05:46:46Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/kriti-sanon-doesn-t-need-a-gym-to-workout-she-has-got-the-mountains-101652244641231-amp.html | false | 2 |

Former WWE NXT Superstar Parker Boudreaux (FKA Harland) claims that rapper Drake is interested in working with him.
On Tuesday, Boudreaux took to Twitter to share a screengrab of a direct message from Angelo “Gelo” Ferraro, a member of Drake’s entourage. As per their conversation, Drake wishes to meet Boudreaux and use him for one of his shows/concerts.
Boudreaux has since deleted the tweet, a screengrab of which can be seen below.
Boudreaux was among the 10 NXT talents released by WWE last month. Since his release, Boudreaux has stated that he plans on using his real name on the indies and grow out his hair again. He had shaved his head to portray the character of Harland on NXT 2.0.
In the aftermath of his WWE release, a report noted that NXT coaches and officials felt like Boudreaux had not progressed in the ring quite enough to their liking. There was a lot of hype around Boudreaux signing with WWE last year, with Paul Heyman and others comparing him to a young Brock Lesnar.
Besides Parker Boudreaux, WWE released Dexter Lumis, Malcolm Bivens, Dakota Kai, Persia Pirotta, Raelyn Divine, Draco Anthony, Vish Kanya, Mila Malani, Blair Baldwin on April 29.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he will reverse Twitter’s permanent ban of former President Donald Trump if he follows through with his plan to buy the social media company.
Musk, speaking at a virtual summit today, said Twitter’s Trump ban was a “morally bad decision” and “foolish in the extreme.” He said permanent bans of Twitter accounts should be rare.
“I think that was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice,” he said, citing Trump’s newly launched tech platform, Truth Social.
Trump said last month that he would not return to Twitter even if allowed to do so, telling Fox News that he was committed to Truth Social. It’s not clear if the former president would change his mind.
We want to know: Should Elon Musk lift Twitter’s ban on Donald Trump?
A slight majority, 57 percent, said Elon Musk should lift Twitter’s ban on Donald Trump.
If he goes through with the purchase, sure, he can do what he wants.
Paul Griffin, Facebook user
No. Keep the ban in place until Trump can tweet like an adult.

Jim and Starr Mitchell have moved many of their growing garden plants into their greenhouse during the day. At night when the temperature is cold, they bring the plants into the house to keep them safe. All their plants have begun to produce flowers, and tiny fruits and beginning vegetables. Also on their back porch are their 36 baby chicks and 10 turkey poults. These young birds are kept separate from each other.
Granddaughters Gabi and Madi are doing good in school and are getting ready for summer vacation. Gabi plays soccer on Saturdays and loves it. Madi likes to make pancakes with Grandma Starr. She also enjoys making other items on the menu. The wonderful thing to Starr is she also helps wash up dishes and baking utensils.
Orson Poulsen mowed his lawn for the first time. He says his peas are starting to appear. He planted them back in March. He planted little onions instead of onion seeds, and they are coming up, too.
Orson has been working in Box Elder County schools as a substitute teacher. He taught at Alice C. Harris Intermediate School. He also reports his mother Joycle Poulsen is doing good.
Jeannette Poulsen is doing handwork in the evenings in front of the television. She is also keeping very busy during the days.
Boyd Udy spent five days at a big cow-cutting event last week. Daughter Jessica came frequently to help push cattle for the various classes. Her daughter Kynzee came when she could. Both ladies were good help and had fun. There were contestants from all over. Boyd is very grateful to the people who provided the 1,400 head of cattle for the event. He says it rained for about an hour. He also enjoyed the kids’ coming out to ride horses. He is getting the sprinklers ready for summer at the ranch.
Laura Wheatley claims to have had “just a regular week;” however, she took some of her daughters to the library to choose books for themselves and their sisters who didn’t go. There has been some sickness in the family and they are all trying to get over that. Zane is still working locally.
The Wheatleys are getting their camper trailer ready to be sold so they can do more hiking. Laura mowed the lawn last week for the first time. “It’s bigger than it looks!” She also says there are tulips showing up here and there. She would prefer veggies to come up.
Winnie Richman is making plans to do some spring cleaning. It seems like everything needs to be done first, or before she can start.
The Richman flowers are making their appearances. The crocuses have bloomed, and the daffodils are lovely. Winnie wishes the daffodils with a different look would start to appear. Only time will tell if she planted in vain or not. She is trying to find time to buy and plant some rose bushes in the side yard. | https://www.hjnews.com/tremonton/promontory-pointers-warmer-weather-means-lots-of-outdoor-activities/article_664c2650-1788-5741-9275-8e0692ad9145.html | 2022-05-11T06:09:16Z | https://www.hjnews.com/tremonton/promontory-pointers-warmer-weather-means-lots-of-outdoor-activities/article_664c2650-1788-5741-9275-8e0692ad9145.html | false | 1 |
Thursday, May 19, 7:30 p.m.
Adler Theatre, 136 East Third Street, Davenport IA
An instantly recognizable stage presence who has served as a Las Vegas headliner for close to 20 years, the madcap comedian Carrot Top brings his prop comedy and observational humor to Davenport's Adler Theatre on May 19, his career of more than a quarter-century boasting everything from voice-over duties for the Cartoon Network to appearances on such Emmy-winning television series The Larry Sanders Show and Scrubs.
Scott “Carrot Top” Thompson made his professional comedy debut on Star Search, and from 1995 to 1999, was the continuity announcer for Cartoon Network, for which he also produced and starred in the early-morning show Carrot Top's AM Mayhem from 1994 to 1996. Since then, he has appeared on television in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Larry the Cable Guy's Christmas Spectacular, Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Criss Angel: Mindfreak, George Lopez, and Tugger: The Jeep 4x4 Who Wanted to Fly, and in 2006, the comedian appeared in the Reno 911! episode "Weigel's Pregnant" as an enraged version of himself who trashes his hotel room and steals a police car. Beyond serving as a guest judge for Last Comic Standing in 2008, Carot Top also appeared as himself on the Bradley Cooper episode of Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis, as well as in the 2009 Bradley Cooper film-comedy smash The Hangover.
Fans have flocked to Carrot Top's Las Vegas headlining residency at the Luxor Hotel and Casino for over 15 years to catch comedy’s King of Props current take on pop culture, music, and headlines of the day, and boasting a dozen trunks filled with approximately 200 props on stage each night, audience members can count on not seeing the same show twice. As the comedian has stated, “I love creating props that are relevant to whatever’s current – from a news headline to a song I heard on the radio.” Carrot Top’s live stage shows are famed as spectacles worthy of most arena rock bands, featuring rock-star-appropriate lighting and music effects, fog machines, and streamer cannons – all in addition to his prop-filled trunks. “When I started touring at the beginning of my career, I had two trunks and a strobe light,” said Carrot Top. “Things got pretty crazy pretty fast, and before I knew it, I had a team touring the country in an 18-wheeler with 35 trunks full of props.”
Carrot Top plays his Davenport engagement on May 19, admission to the 7:30 p.m. show is $29-52, and tickets are available by calling (800)745-3000 and visiting AdlerTheatre.com. | https://www.rcreader.com/news/carrot-top-adler-theatre-may19 | 2022-05-11T06:09:23Z | https://www.rcreader.com/news/carrot-top-adler-theatre-may19 | false | 1 |
Tuesday, the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) outperformed the other indexes ending the day +1.20%, while other major indices closed roughly flat on the day.
From the momentum side, our Real Motion (RM) indicator is flirting with the lower band. This can be seen circled in the above chart.
If QQQ can clear the band, this could be a setup for a mean reversion type of trade.
While this does present an opportunity from an oversold basis, the next problem is overhead resistance in a down-trending market. We have already seen how easily the market can attempt a rally, only to flip and break lower the next day. With so much overhead resistance taking long trades in equities is especially risky. Therefore, we plan to focus on commodities and put most equities on the back burner.
Two commodities we are currently watching are sugar (CANE) and gold (GLD). Each is sitting on support from the 200-Day moving average.
However, simply holding support is not a great reason to take a trade. They need to show they are capable of trending upwards or show a proper reversal chart pattern.
Again, we can look at the momentum indicator for signals.
In CANE, RM is nearing the lower band. If the band is tested/broken, we could look for RM to re-enter the band for another mean reversion trade.
On the other hand, GLD has not only broken the band but also broken through the 200-MA on RM. If GLD can hold the 200-DMA in price, we can watch for RM to clear its 200-MA to confirm that price and RM agree.
While these can be great symbols to trade, timing our entries in a volatile market makes all the difference.
Stock Market ETFs Trading Analysis and Summary:
S&P 500 (SPY) Resistance at 410. Watching to hold current price area.
Russell 2000 (IWM) 182 resistance.

Evansville motel owner: “They were not official guests here,” reacting to Casey and Vicky White’s stay
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Vanderburgh County Sheriff, Dave Wedding, says Vicky and Casey White were believed to have been staying in Evansville as early as May 2.
While they were in town, they were hiding out in a room at the Motel 41.
Owner of Motel 41, Paul Shah, says an Evansville man checked in to a room at his motel and paid for a two week stay.
Sheriff Wedding says that was the same room that Vicky and Casey White were staying in, but Shah had no idea they were there.
“Actually yesterday was the first day I came to know they were looking for those fugitives in this area.,” said Shah.
Sheriff Wedding says he believes Casey and Vicky White paid a random person to reserve the room for them and that he believes they had no connection to any Evansville residents.
“They were not officially guests here. Somebody else checked in... so officially there was no... officially they are not my registered guests here,” said Shah.
Shah says neither him or his motel staff ever saw Casey or Vicky White during their stay and nothing looked suspicious in the area until he saw the car chase.
“There was no excitement here... nothing,” said Shah. “They were following that blue Cadillac or something, that car. They asked me... They were just following that car yesterday all day. As soon as I was gone after 3:30 p.m. and then I just came to know on the news that they found them... The car chase or something... but nothing happened in my parking lot, that’s what I’m saying, you know.”
Shah says he’s owned Motel 41 for 12 years and nothing like this has happened before, but he says it’s shocking the fugitives ended up in Evansville and staying at his motel without him knowing.
“It’s shocking and surprising why they chose Evansville, you know,” said Shah. But, see, we did not know. When somebody checked in not officially... it was somebody else, a local guy... How would you know that somebody is visiting them. Because officially, they were not official guests.”
Shah says right now the room Casey and Vicky stayed in is still registered under that Evansville man’s name.
Sheriff Wedding tells us the man is not facing any charges.

Newcastle Knights forward Mitchell Barnett readily admits he got it wrong after losing a sizeable chunk of his 2022 NRL season to suspension.

Barnett copped a six-match ban in March this year after being sent off for elbowing Penrith forward Chris Smith in the jaw during Newcastle's 38-20 loss in Bathurst.
It was reported after the judiciary hearing that, including his lower-grade career, Barnett had been charged nine times and been suspended for 16 games since 2013, before Tuesday's visit to Rugby League Central.
This week on Toohey's News: The Podcast, Barnett returns for his second episode on the show to address the controversy, his response to his punishment, and his imminent move to the Warriors in 2023, all on the eve of his return to field for this week's clash against the Bulldogs.

NASCAR officials should be worried.
Very worried.
If they’re not, they are asleep at the wheel and will someday be lapped by Formula 1 in this country.
If you don’t believe me, consider that Miami Dolphins billionaire owner Stephen Ross — whose subsidiary company, South Florida Motorsports, is funding Sunday’s much-ballyhooed Miami Grand Prix — is poised to make as much money in ticket sales for Miami’s inaugural F1 event as he makes during an entire season on Dolphins home games. In fact, business insiders say an economic impact of Super Bowl-like proportions is being created this weekend with an estimated 300,000 fans, celebrities, tourists and corporate executives converging on South Florida to drink, party and watch sleek Mercedes and Ferraris buzz around the 3.4-mile track near Hard Rock Stadium at speeds of more than 200 mph.
I’m not saying that the Miami Grand Prix will get higher ratings than NASCAR’s Throwback Weekend at Darlington on Sunday when the two racing leagues go head-to-head on network TV (NASCAR is on Fox Sports 1; Formula 1 is on ABC), but that day could be coming more quickly than NASCAR ever thought possible.
The rising stature of F1 in America can be directly attributed to the wildly popular Netflix Series: Formula 1: Drive to Survive — a show that has been described as a “soap-operatic docuseries” that gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at F1 drivers, teams, cars and races.
Quite frankly, F1 has become internationally cool while NASCAR, although it’s evolving and trying mightily to change its image, is still considered by many to be the good ol’ boy sport of the South.
The recent F1 race in Austin drew a record 400,000 fans, almost 70% of whom were first-time attendees. Meanwhile, the Miami Grand Prix’s suite and pre-sale tickets were sold out in less than a day with the cheapest ticket going for $600 and the most expensive ones garnering $30,000 on the secondary market.
The Miami Grand Prix has become such a mega-moneymaker that is has transcended sports and is now being covered by business publications. According to the Sports Business Journal, SeatGeek — a popular online site for buying and selling tickets — is reporting that the Miami Grand Prix is the most in-demand auto race it has ever tracked, with an average resale price of $2,414 per ticket as of last week.
If NASCAR’s Daytona 500 is “The Great American Race” then the Miami Grand Prix is “The Great American Phenomenon.”
According to another business website, CNBC, Miami’s top hotels are charging more than $100,0000 a night for their top suites. Chefs are offering special dinners for $3,000 a plate, and night clubs are bringing in top DJs with tables going for up to $100,000 a night.
“This is going to be the biggest week in Miami history,” said Jeff Zalaznick, managing partner of Major Food Group, which sold out its dinner on Miami Beach at $3,000 per person. “We’ve never seen demand like this. It’s going to be a very hedonistic experience.”
The thing is, F1 is not only luring in the rich jet-setters and beautiful people, it’s capturing the attention of average sports fans, too. Case in point: Two of my best friends in Orlando have become avid F1 fans because of Netflix.
Pat Lynch, an iconic rock and roll deejay at WJRR in Orlando, might be the biggest sports fan I know. This guy watches every sport you can imagine on TV, and has always been a huge NASCAR fan. But when I put him on the spot a couple of days ago and asked if he is a bigger fan of NASCAR or F1, his response was telling.
“I’ve got to be honest, I’m leaning toward F1,” Lynch responded. “The Netflix series pushed me over the top. I was just sort of a casual F1 fan before, but now I know the names of the drivers, the teams and what goes into all this. It’s intriguing; it really is.”
Marc Daniels, the longtime radio voice of UCF, tells a similar story.
“My wife and I have become massive fans,” Daniels told me the other day during our radio show. “During the pandemic, my wife and I flipped on Drive to Survive and got absolutely hooked. Now, we’re huge fans. We both have our favorite team, our favorite driver, I’ve bought her F1 merchandise and now we’re looking to take a trip to Europe and to do it around being able to go to an F1 race. We were looking to go to Miami this weekend, but the tickets we were looking at were like $3,000 apiece. I was like, ‘Honey, I love you, but we ain’t doin’ that!”
It should come as no surprise that NASCAR recently unveiled its own Netflix docuseries — Race: Bubba Wallace — about Wallace’s journey as the sport’s only Black driver during the racially charged 2020-21 seasons.
Just consider this the beginning of NASCAR’s own drive to survive as the sport puts the pedal to the metal, races into the future and tries to block F1′s master plan of becoming the No. 1 option in satisfying America’s need for speed.

A new report has revealed the gender pay gap in Sunderland is the second fairest in the whole of the UK.
Researchers looked at the difference in median annual pay for male and female full-time workers in 321 areas across the UK.
They found that Arun in West Sussex was the most gender-balanced workplace in the UK. On average, men there have an annual income of £26,740, whereas women get £26,694 per year – £40 more than their male counterparts.
Then came Sunderland where the median salary for men was £26,635 compared to £26,593 for women, just £42 or 0.16% more. It was the standout result for the region as the rest of the North East districts were ranked from 75th (Gateshead) to 254 for North Tyneside putting it near the bottom of the table of fairness.

The research, carried out by www.income-tax.co.uk, used the latest data available from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). A spokesperson said: “Our research suggests that some of the fairest employers are not necessarily the richest. Quite the opposite, in fact – districts with high-paying jobs in general tend to pay women much less.
“Arun, Sunderland and North East Derbyshire were a nice surprise and employers operating there should get more credit for offering virtually equal pay for men and women."

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres' day began with news that manager Bob Melvin will have prostate surgery and ended with a thrilling win against the Chicago Cubs.
Manny Machado hit a go-ahead double in the sixth inning and left fielder Jurickson Profar caught Frank Schwindel's bases-loaded drive at the wall to seal a 5-4 victory Tuesday night.
Closer Taylor Rogers allowed Ian Happ’s RBI single with two outs in the ninth and loaded the bases before retiring Schwindel for his 12 save in 13 chances.
“These are the days you go through and thankfully we had an extra insurance run to play with," Rogers said. "He said he thought Schwindel's ball might go out, “but Profar's reaction, I thought maybe we had a chance and thankfully we did.”
Said starter Mike Clevinger, who pitched at Petco Park for the first time since late in the 2020 season: “I had my stomach in my throat but it’s all good.”
Melvin announced before the game that he'll have surgery Wednesday. He said he doesn't think he has cancer, “but they won’t know until they get in there.” Melvin, hired away from Oakland on Nov. 1, said he expects to miss at least a week's worth of games. Bench coach Ryan Christenson will serve as interim manager.
“It really makes you appreciate where you are, what you're doing right now,” Clevinger said. “There's a lot of things bigger than this game. We're all here supporting Bob and we wish him the best tomorrow.”
Rogers allowed Ian Happ's RBI single with two outs in the ninth and loaded the bases before Profar caught Schwindel's drive.
Clevinger pitched well for 4 1/3 innings in his first start at Petco Park since late in the 2020 season. He missed last season while rehabbing after Tommy John surgery. Chicago's Wade Miley lasted three innings in his Cubs debut, which was delayed due to elbow inflammation.
Machado and Eric Hosmer have been carrying San Diego's often-anemic offense all season and they came up big in the sixth. Machado doubled down the left field line off Chris Martin with two outs to bring in Jake Cronenworth with the go-ahead run. Hosmer then singled in Jurickson Profar, who had singled in front of Machado.
Steve Wilson (3-0) got the win and Robert Gsellman (0-1) took the loss.
The Cubs had tied it at 2 in the third on a two-run home run by Alfonso Rivas that bounced out of rookie center fielder Jose Azocar’s glove and over the fence. It was the second for Rivas, who grew up in nearby Chula Vista and went to La Jolla Country Day.
Azocar was starting in place of Trent Grisham, who won a Gold Glove in 2021, because the Padres were facing a lefty. Azocar slumped to the ground in disappointment after the play. The ball might not have gotten out without the redirection.
Austin Nola gave the Padres the lead back on an RBI single in the third before his throwing error in the fifth allowed Rafael Ortega to tie it at 3.
Clevinger, his long hair brained into pigtails, allowed three runs, two earned, and six hits in 4 1/3 innings while striking out six and walking two. It was the first time Clevinger's unorthodox delivery — which starts with happy feet and ends with a sweeping motion with his right leg — was on display in San Diego since Sept. 23, 2020.
Back then, fans weren't allowed in due to the pandemic.
“It was exciting,” Clevinger said. “It was really fun to be out there with fans. I hadn't gotten to experience that yet. It's was even louder being out there than in the dugout. I really appreciated it.”
Clevinger was obtained at the trade deadline during the pandemic-shortened season in a blockbuster trade with Cleveland. He exited his last start of the regular season with what was later described as an elbow impingement and missed the Padres' wild-card series win against St. Louis.
Clevinger returned for the NL Division Series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers but was removed in the second inning after his velocity dipped dramatically. The Padres were swept by the Dodgers. He had Tommy John surgery later that fall.
The right-hander started this season on the injured list with a sprained right knee and made his debut with 4 2/3 innings of four-hit ball in the first game of a road double-header against his old team, the Cleveland Indians.
Miley allowed three runs and five hits in three innings. The Cubs picked him up off waivers from Cincinnati in November. Miley allowed Wil Myers' RBI single in the first and then walked Kim Ha-seong with the bases loaded.
A FRIARS FIRST
Former San Diego State softball player Brittany Womack became the first female official scorer in Padres' history and the eighth in big league history. She's a math teacher and baseball coach at Escondido High.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Cubs: Activated Miley from the 10-day injured list. Placed OF Michael Hermosillo on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Sunday, with a left quadriceps strain. ... OF Seiya Suzuki was scratched from the lineup with a sore right ankle but singled as a pinch-hitter in the ninth.
Padres: Reinstated RF Myers and DH Luke Voit from the 10-day IL. Optioned INF CJ Abrams to Triple-A El Paso. Designated OF Trayce Thompson for assignment.
UP NEXT
The Cubs haven't named a starter for the series finale Wednesday afternoon while LHP Nick Martinez (2-0, 1.71) is scheduled to start for the Padres.

United State- Anti-counterfeit packaging is the process of securing and authenticating products in order to minimize counterfeiting or infringement malpractices. Anti-counterfeit measures are taken by companies, to minimize the losses incurred due to counterfeiting and to maintain their brand equity. The global anti-counterfeit packaging (Security document and event ticketing) market generated revenue of $22.8 billion in 2014 and is forecast to reach of $38.3 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 9.5%, over the forecast period.
Two major factors influencing the adoption of anti-counterfeit packaging technologies in security documents and event ticketing are, intellectual damage to the company in the form of goodwill and economic damage to consumer. Thus, the adoption of novel technologies for document tracking would reduce the impact of economic damage and further boost the adoption of the anti-counterfeit packaging market.

Presently, heavy production and fragmented control over the supply of documents, are the two major challenges in this market.
Geographically, the report is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. North America anti-counterfeit technology market holds major share closely followed by Europe. Higher adoption rate of authentication technologies, active intervention from government authorities are largely responsible for the growth of the North America anti-counterfeit packaging market.

Perunovich logged a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Wild in Game 5.
The Blues opted for seven defensemen in this contest, allowing Perunovich to stay in the lineup. He saw just 11:23 of ice time, but he served as a power-play specialist, where he helped out on Ryan O'Reilly's first-period tally. The 23-year-old Perunovich has two helpers and two blocked shots in his first two playoff contests, and he should stick in the lineup as long as he remains productive. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/blues-scott-perunovich-assists-in-back-to-back-games/ | 2022-05-11T06:49:05Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/blues-scott-perunovich-assists-in-back-to-back-games/ | true | null |
IICF to move SC on Gyanvapi case
Ayodhya: The Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF) said that the videography being carried out at the Gyanvapi Mosque is a clear violation of the Places of Worship Act, 1991, which laid down that a religious place will retain the same character it had on August 15, 1947.
The IICF will now approach the Supreme Court in this regard.
IICF Secretary Athar Hussain said: “We will not spare any effort in getting the Ayodhya verdict implemented in letter and spirit. We will approach the apex court to get the Places of Worship Act, 1991 implemented.
“Any court of law challenging the status of any place of worship in India other than the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya violates the November 9, 2019 verdict of the SC.”

A year after announcement, deal for SAA private partner still not done, MPs told
Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan told MPs that it was still a 'live transaction' and that the deal was not finalised yet.
CAPE TOWN - The deal to transfer majority ownership of South African Airways (SAA) to a private partner is still not complete more than a year since its announcement.
Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has given Parliament an update on the special equity partner process.
He told MPs that it was still a “live transaction” and that the deal was not finalised yet.
Minister Gordhan told MPs that finding a suitable strategic equity partner was because the State was no longer willing to part with money from the fiscus to bail out SAA.
"But also, we must remember by demanding more money from the state and the situation was completely untenable and eventually what we had was a further recapitalisation in February 2019," Gordhan said.
Gordhan told Scopa that those interested in buying SAA had a number of conditions.
"Among the other conditions, if you like, from interested parties is that they would want management control, majority shareholding, they would like no political interference," he explained.
Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana agreed with Gordhan, saying SAA that had become a “fiscal drain”, costing the state R49 billion to date. | https://ewn.co.za/2022/05/11/a-year-after-announcement-deal-for-saa-private-partner-still-not-done-mps-told | 2022-05-11T07:04:08Z | https://ewn.co.za/2022/05/11/a-year-after-announcement-deal-for-saa-private-partner-still-not-done-mps-told | false | 1 |

Watch: This robot can paint a car in less than 30 minutes
Swedish automotive technology company ABB has claimed that it has developed a painting robot for automotive applications that is capable of painting a car in just 30 minutes. To show off how wild the technology and the paintbot are, the company has released a video that shows how the paint robots are creating the world's first fully machine painted art car.
(Also Read: BMW cars globally may come minus Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Here's why)
The company also claims that it has teamed up with artists to create two different designs, which were recreated by its vehicle painter robot on the surface of the vehicle. The company claims that the two different designs were complex in nature, but the robot painter was able to recreate them without any kind of human intervention. Also, the painter robot took less than 30 minutes to recreate both designs.
The painter robot is claimed to have 1,000 nozzles in the printer head that can apply paint very close to the surface of the vehicle so that there is no overspray. This technology also claims to prevent airborne misting. The company claims that this painting technology and the robot can help the automakers to save up to 60 per cent on time and costs compared to the conventional vehicle painting process.
The robot uses PixelPaint technology that uses precise painting methods in a sustainable manner. As there is a lack of overspray, there is no requirement for masking material and additional ventilation as well. This is claimed to save both material and energy costs along with time.
Interestingly, German luxury car brand BMW too introduced similar technology in its paint shop in 2021. The automaker claimed that this precision painting technology is capable of saving as much as 6,000 mWh of power every year and also reducing the paint shop’s carbon footprint by nearly 2,000 tonnes. | https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto/cars/watch-this-paintbot-can-paint-an-art-car-in-30-minutes-41652247232566.html | 2022-05-11T07:06:32Z | https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto/cars/watch-this-paintbot-can-paint-an-art-car-in-30-minutes-41652247232566.html | true | 1 |

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Stories about long-departed Las Vegas organized crime figures are surfacing after a second set of unidentified human remains were revealed as the water level falls on drought-stricken Lake Mead.
The reservoir on the Colorado River is about a 30-minute drive from the mob-founded Las Vegas Strip.
“There’s no telling what we’ll find in Lake Mead,” former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said Monday. “It’s not a bad place to dump a body.”
Goodman was a defense attorney who represented Mafia figures including ill-fated Anthony “Tony the Ant” Spilotro before serving three terms as a martini-toting mayor who made public appearances with a showgirl on each arm.
He declined to speculate about who might turn up in the vast reservoir formed by Hoover Dam between Nevada and Arizona.
“I’m relatively sure it was not Jimmy Hoffa,” he laughed, referring to the former labor boss who disappeared in 1975. But he added that a lot of his former clients seemed interested in “climate control” — mob speak for keeping the lake level up and bodies down in their watery graves.
Instead, the world now has climate change, and as a result the surface of Lake Mead has dropped more than 170 feet (52 meters) since 1983. The lake that slakes the thirst of 40 million people in cities, farms and tribes across seven Southwestern states is down to about 30% of capacity.
“If the lake goes down much farther, it’s very possible we’re going to have some very interesting things surface,” said Michael Green, a University of Nevada, Las Vegas history professor whose father dealt blackjack for decades at casinos including the Stardust and Showboat.
“I wouldn’t bet the mortgage that we’re going to solve who killed Bugsy Siegel,” Green said, referring to the infamous gangster who opened the Flamingo casino in 1946 on what became the Strip. Siegel was shot dead in 1947 in Beverly Hills, California. His assassin has never been identified.
“But I would be willing to bet there are going to be a few more bodies,” Green said.
Last month. the dropping lake level exposed Las Vegas’ uppermost drinking water intake, forcing the regional water authority to switch to a deep-lake intake it completed in 2020 to continue to supply casinos, suburbs and 2.4 million residents and 40 million tourists per year.
The following weekend, boaters spotted the decomposed body of a man in a rusted barrel stuck in the mud of newly exposed shoreline.
The corpse has not been identified, but Las Vegas police say he had been shot, probably between the mid-1970s and early 1980s, according to the shoes found with him. The death is being investigated as a homicide.
A few days later, a second barrel was found by a KLAS-TV news crew, not far from the first. It was empty.
On Saturday, two sisters from the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson were paddle boarding on the lake near a former marina resort and noticed bones on a newly surfaced sand bar more than 9 miles (14.5 kilometers) from the barrels.
Lindsey Melvin, who took photos of their find, said they thought at first it was the skeleton of a bighorn sheep native to the region. A closer look revealed a human jaw with teeth. They called park rangers and the National Park Service confirmed in a statement that the bones were human.
There was no immediate evidence of foul play, Las Vegas police said Monday, and they are not investigating. A homicide probe would be opened if the Clark County coroner determines the death was suspicious, the department said in a statement.
Geoff Schumacher, vice president of The Mob Museum, said he expects “a lot” of whatever bodies lie beneath the lake’s surface will turn out to be drowning victims. But he said it’s clear whoever was in the barrel was a target.
Stuffing a body in a barrel has a “signature of a mob hit,” said Schumacher, whose museum is in a renovated historic downtown Las Vegas post office and federal building. It opened in 2012 as The National Museum of Organized Crime & Law Enforcement.
He and Green both cited the death of John “Handsome Johnny” Roselli, a mid-1950s Las Vegas mobster who disappeared in 1976. A few days later his body was found in a steel drum floating off the coast of Miami.
David Kohlmeier, a former police officer who now co-hosts a Las Vegas podcast and fledgling TV show called “The Problem Solver Show,” said Monday that after offering a $5,000 reward last week for qualified divers to find barrels in the lake, he heard from people in San Diego and Florida willing to try.
But National Park Service officials said that’s not allowed and that there are hundreds of barrels in the depths, some dating to the construction of Hoover Dam in the 1930s.
Kohlmeier said he also heard from families of missing people and about cases like a man suspected of killing his mother and brother in 1987, a hotel employee who disappeared in 1992, and a father from Utah who vanished in the 1980s.
Green said the discoveries have people talking not only about mob hits, but about bringing relief and closure to grieving families.
“They’re going to think we’re going to solve every mob murder. In fact, we may see some,” he said. “But it’s also worth remembering that the mob did not like murders to take place in the Las Vegas area, because they did not like bad publicity going out under the Las Vegas dateline.”
Whatever story emerges about the body in the barrel, Goodman predicted it will add to the lore of a city that needed the creation of Lake Mead to sprout from the creosote bush-covered desert to become a marquee gambling mecca with a metro area home to about 2.25 million people.
“When I was the mayor, every time I went to a groundbreaking, I’d begin to shake for fear that somebody I may have run into over the years will be uncovered,” he joked.
Spilotro, Goodman’s one-time client, represented the Chicago mob in Las Vegas in the 1970s. He headed a crew dubbed the “Hole in the Wall” gang for drilling through walls to gain entry to homes and businesses. Spilotro’s body and the body of his brother, Michael Spilotro, were found in June 1986 by a farmer plowing a cornfield in northwest Indiana.
Tony the Ant served as the model for the character Nicky Santoro, portrayed by actor Joe Pesci, in Martin Scorsese’s 1995 movie“Casino.” Goodman played himself in the film.
“We have a very interesting background,” Goodman told The Associated Press. “It certainly adds to the mystique of Las Vegas.” | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/bodies-found-in-lake-mead-renew-interest-in-vegas-mob-lore/ | 2022-05-11T07:35:38Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/bodies-found-in-lake-mead-renew-interest-in-vegas-mob-lore/ | false | 56 |
ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's natural gas pipeline operator on Wednesday stopped Russian shipments through a key hub in the east of the country, while its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said Kyiv's military had made small gains, pushing Russian forces out of four villages near Kharkiv.
The pipeline operator said Russian shipments through its Novopskov hub, in an area controlled by Moscow-backed separatists, would be cut beginning Wednesday. It said the hub handles about a third of Russian gas passing through Ukraine to Western Europe. Russia’s state-owned natural gas giant Gazprom put the figure at about a quarter.
The move marks the first time natural gas supply has been affected by the war that began in February. It may force Russia to shift flows of its gas through territory controlled by Ukraine to reach its clients in Europe. Russia’s state energy giant Gazprom initially said it couldn’t, though preliminary flow data suggested higher rates moving through a second station in Ukrainian-controlled territory.
The operator said it was stopping the flow because of interference from “occupying forces,” including the apparent siphoning of gas. Russia could reroute shipments through Sudzha, a main hub in a northern part of the country controlled by Ukraine, it said. But Gazprom spokesperson Sergei Kupriyanov said that would be “technologically impossible” and questioned the reason given for the stoppage.
Zelenskyy said Tuesday that the military was gradually pushing Russian troops away from Kharkiv, while Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba voiced what appeared to be increasing confidence — and expanded goals, suggesting Ukraine could go beyond just forcing Russia back to areas it held before the invasion began 11 weeks ago.
Kuleba told the Financial Times that Ukraine initially believed victory would be the withdrawal of Russian troops to positions they occupied before the Feb. 24 invasion. But the focus shifted to the eastern industrial heartland of the Donbas after Russian forces failed to take Kyiv early in the war.
“Now if we are strong enough on the military front, and we win the battle for Donbas, which will be crucial for the following dynamics of the war, of course the victory for us in this war will be the liberation of the rest of our territories," Kuleba said.
Kuleba’s statement seemed to reflect political ambitions more than battlefield realities: Russian forces have made advances in the Donbas and control more of it than they did before the war began. But it highlights how Ukraine has stymied a larger, better-armed Russian military, surprising many who had anticipated a much quicker end to the conflict.
Ukraine said Tuesday that Russian forces fired seven missiles at Odesa a day earlier, hitting a shopping center and a warehouse in the country’s largest port. One person was killed and five wounded, the military said.
Images showed a burning building and debris — including a tennis shoe — in a heap of destruction in the city on the Black Sea.
One general has suggested Moscow’s aims include cutting Ukraine’s maritime access to both the Black and Azov seas. That would also give Russia a corridor linking it to both the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized in 2014, and Transnistria, a pro-Moscow region of Moldova.
Ukraine’s targeting of Russian forces on Snake Island in the Black Sea was helping disrupt Moscow’s attempts to expand its influence, the British military said.
Russia has sought to reinforce its garrison on Snake Island, while “Ukraine has successfully struck Russian air defenses and resupply vessels with Bayraktar drones," the British Defense Ministry said in an intelligence update on Twitter. It said Russian resupply vessels had minimum protection after the Russian Navy retreated to Crimea after losing the Moskva.
That corresponds to satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press showing the fighting there.
But the British military warned: “If Russia consolidates its position on (Snake) Island with strategic air defense and coastal defense cruise missiles, they could dominate the northwestern Black Sea.”
Even if Russia fails to sever Ukraine from its coast — and it appears to lack the forces to do so — continuing missile strikes on Odesa reflect its strategic importance. The Russian military has repeatedly targeted its airport, claiming it destroyed several batches of Western weapons.
Odesa is a major gateway for grain shipments, and the Russian blockade threatens global food supplies. It's also a cultural jewel, dear to Ukrainians and Russians alike. Targeting it carries symbolic significance.
To protect Odesa, Kyiv might need to shift forces to the southwest, drawing them away from the eastern front in the Donbas, where they are fighting near Kharkiv to push the Russians back across the border.
Kharkiv and its surroundings have been under sustained Russian attack since the early in the war. In recent weeks, grisly pictures testified to the horrors of those battles, with charred and mangled bodies strewn in one street.
The bodies of 44 civilians were found in the rubble of a five-story building that collapsed in March in Izyum, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Kharkiv, Oleh Synehubov, head of the regional administration, said Tuesday.
Russian aircraft twice launched unguided missiles Tuesday at the Sumy area northeast of Kharkiv, according to the Ukrainian border guard service. The region’s governor said the missiles hit several residential buildings, but no one was killed. Russian mortars hit the Chernihiv region, along the Ukrainian border with Belarus, but there was no word on casualties.
Zelenskyy used his nightly address to pay tribute to Leonid Kravchuk, the first president of an independent Ukraine, who died Tuesday at 88.
Kravchuk showed courage and knew how to get the country to listen to him, he said.
That was particularly important in “crisis moments, when the future of the whole country may depend on the courage of one man,” said Zelenskyy, whose own communication skills and decision to remain in Kyiv when it came under Russian attack helped make him a strong wartime leader.

(CNN Spanish) — Do not pay a “coyote” is the message of the US immigration authorities. United States immigration authorities launched a campaign to raise awareness among Central American migrants seeking to enter the country illegally so that they do not allow themselves to be convinced by smugglers or coyotes when crossing the border.
The initiative highlights that immigration laws have not changed and that entering the country illegally is a crime, and that those who do so will be immediately expelled from the country or enter deportation proceedings.
The campaign uses direct messages such as “The coyote scammed us”, “The coyote is a criminal, don’t fall into his trap”, “The coyote took our son from us”, among other messages.
“Smugglers use lies to lure the vulnerable into taking a dangerous journey that often ends in their removal from the country or leads to death,” US Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus said in a news release. from USA
According to information from the agency, this campaign will last two months and they hope to reach migrants through social networks, cell phones, radio, among other means.
The US Border Patrol made more than 158,000 arrests on the border with Mexico during February of this year, an increase from January, when almost 148,000 arrests were recorded.
This campaign occurs when a judge temporarily prevented the government of President Joe Biden from putting an end to the use of Title 42, which allows the expedited deportation of undocumented immigrants on the grounds of health reasons. The government hoped to stop invoking that measure on May 23, but so far it is on hold. While thousands of migrants wait at the border with Mexico to enter the country if the use of Title 42 were to be suspended.
Although, according to the Biden administration, they will deport those who seek to enter the country illegally, whether Title 42 is in force or not. | https://d1softballnews.com/us-launches-campaign-for-migrants-not-to-pay-smugglers-when-crossing-the-southern-border/ | 2022-05-11T07:43:03Z | https://d1softballnews.com/us-launches-campaign-for-migrants-not-to-pay-smugglers-when-crossing-the-southern-border/ | true | 1 |
LONDON: Manchester City announced Tuesday they had reached an agreement to sign star striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund -- sending an ominous statement of intent to their rivals.
The Norwegian international will move to the Etihad after the Premier League champions agreed to pay his reported 60-million-euro (£51 million, $63 million) release clause.
“Manchester City can confirm we have reached an agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of striker Erling Haaland to the club on 1st July 2022,“ the club said in a statement.
“The transfer remains subject to the club finalising terms with the player.”
The deal for the towering 21-year-old ends City's long search for a specialist striker to replace record goalscorer Sergio Aguero, who left last year.
The club failed in a high-profile attempt to prise England captain Harry Kane away from Tottenham Hotspur last summer.
Haaland, whose father Alf-Inge played for City from 2000 to 2003, has been sensational since joining Dortmund from RB Salzburg in January 2020, scoring 85 goals in 88 appearances for the German side.
Speculation linking City with Haaland had been gathering momentum in recent weeks, with reports on Monday claiming the player had already undergone a medical.
Manager Pep Guardiola was reluctant to discuss the situation in a press conference on Tuesday to preview Wednesday's game at Wolves, but all but suggested a deal was imminent.
“Everybody knows the situation, but I should not talk because I do not like to talk about the future, next season,“ he said.
“At the same time I should say something, but Borussia Dortmund and Man City told me I’m not allowed to say anything until the deal is completely done, so I cannot talk. I’m sorry. We’ll have time to talk.”
But after Haaland’s in-principle move was announced, City centre-back Aymeric Laporte tweeted: “Happy not to be running after this guy for the next couple of years. Welcome Erling.”
Top-scorers
City, who are the Premier League's top-scorers this season with 89 goals, have often played without a recognised striker for the past two seasons.
Riyad Mahrez is their top scorer with 24 goals in all competitions, ahead of Raheem Sterling (16), Kevin De Bruyne (15) and Phil Foden (14).
Guardiola was keen to play down the significance of any one new signing.
He said: “We have a number nine right now. New players always help us try to be a stronger team, but a good defender will not solve our defensive problems and one striker will not resolve the scoring problems that maybe we have.
“We have always been consistent, scoring a lot of goals and conceding few. The stats are there, we are stable in those terms but the club always has to have a vision for the future.
“That’s why with the decisions the club takes, I’m always completely aware and supportive 100 percent.”
City, who lead Liverpool on goal difference at the top of the Premier League table and have a game in hand, are closing in on a fourth English league title in five years.
But they suffered a painful exit from the Champions League last week, losing 6-5 on aggregate to semi-final opponents Real Madrid.
For all Guardiola's success in six years at the Etihad, his inability to conquer Europe is seen as a failure.
Haaland's predatory instincts could be the missing ingredient to take City's domestic dominance onto the Champions League stage.
“They have done fantastically well without having a top striker and now they have a top striker so you can only imagine what they will be like now,“ former Manchester United and Norway defender Henning Berg told the BBC.
“As a number nine, as a goalscorer you cannot go to a better team because they get the ball in the box so many times.”
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp described Haaland as a “beast”.
“He’s a good player but City was never and will never be a team that wins games because of one player,“ said Klopp after Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Aston Villa kept the pressure on City at the top of the Premier League.
“He’s a real beast, so unfortunately a really good signing.” - AFP | https://www.thesundaily.my/sport/man-city-agree-to-sign-dortmund-striker-haaland-MJ9182718 | 2022-05-11T07:48:53Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/sport/man-city-agree-to-sign-dortmund-striker-haaland-MJ9182718 | false | 12 |
Deborah James has heartbreakingly spoken about how she could live longer as she opened up in a poignant interview on BBC Breakfast this morning.
The podcast host, 40, said that while she knew her children Hugo and Eloise would be fine, she broke down in tears as she said she was going to "miss every chance [she] could have had with them.
announced on Monday evening that she was in hospice care and that she is spending time her last days surrounded by family and friends.
She was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016 and over the years has been heavily involved in charity work to raise money for cancer research and raise awareness through ITV's No Butts campaign.
So far, Deborah has raised more than £2million in just 48 hours as she asked people to "buy her a drink" to send her off by donating the money to Cancer Research UK.
She said: "I've always said I don't want to leave any stone unturned - I don't think there isn't a stone we haven't tried to unturn to make my liver work again in order to get my body functioning.
"Unfortunately I'm exhausted - I'm absolutely exhausted. We've got to the point now where I can't really do anything more. "
She continued as she began to break down in tears: "I have a really loving family who I adore. Honestly, they're incredible and all I knew I wanted was to come here and be able to relax knowing that everything was OK.
"I've had some really hard conversations during the last week. You think, 'Gosh, how can anyone have those conversations?' and then you find yourself in the middle of them. And people are very nice, but you're talking about your own death and I've had five years to prepare for my death."
Deborah went on to say that she didn't have a "grudge" or "angry that [she] hasn't tried everything".
"I don't feel like we've run out of drugs but we're still not - I'm still not there yet," she said as she began to get tearful.
As she struggled to speak, the interviewer said: "I know it's not easy."
"It's hard," she replied. "It's really hard. The thing that I know, because I trust my husband - he's just the most wonderful man and so is my family and I know that my kids are going to be more than looked after and surrounded by love.
"You always want to know as a mother - are your kids going to be OK? And my kids are going to be fine. But it doesn't mean I'm not going to miss every chance I could have had with them."
Addressing the money she had raised in just two days, Deborah said: "I always knew that there was one thing I wanted to do before I died. What I really want to happen is that I don't want any other Deborahs to have to go through this and I want - we know that if we catch cancer early we can cure it. We know that much more investment needs to take place for cancer.
"We know that we have the skills and the passion in the UK to do so. But I just feel that was still need that reminder and that boost and money.
"So before I died, one thing I knew I wanted to do was set up a fund that could continue working on some of the things that gave me life."

From heavy rain and flash floods to hurricanes and storm surges, flooding is the most common natural disaster in the United States.
Not only does flooding put over 40 million Americans at risk each year, but it also is incredibly costly. It incurs approximately $20 billion worth of damage to at-risk homes each year, not to mention the additional cost of damage to public property and infrastructure. Rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather caused by climate change are projected to worsen flooding in the United States with each passing year.
Unfortunately, homeowners are among the hardest hit by flooding. Insurance costs are higher for homeowners in flood zones; in addition to the cost of standard home insurance, flood insurance can add another $900 or more per year. And in the event that a home is flooded, home insurance premiums typically rise. On top of this, a home that sustains water damage tends to decrease significantly in value even after renovations, selling for between 10-20 percent less.
A city’s preparedness and its resources to combat flooding can go a long way. Yet, flooding events — from minor, moderate to major — leave communities floundering in their wake each year. With flood risk on the rise across the United States due to climate change, flood vulnerability looms large as an increasingly costly issue.
To identify the most vulnerable cities to flooding in 2021, researchers at Insurify analyzed environmental and sociological data published by the University of Notre Dame. They assigned each of the United States’ major metropolitan areas a Flood Vulnerability Score based on a combination of factors, from flood probability to social, economic, and governmental preparedness.
Insights
- National averages. Across the 280 major metropolitan areas in the United States, the average Flood Vulnerability Score is 38.5 out of 100. Among the top 20 most at-risk cities, the average score is almost exactly twice as high, at 77.1 out of 100. According to the most recent data from Realtor.com, the average home sale price in the United States is approximately $365,817 , while the average time a home spends on the market is 56 days.
- Southern and Southwestern clusters. Notably, none of the most vulnerable cities to flooding are located in the northern half of the United States. Among the cities located on the coast, rising sea levels caused by warming oceans and melting glaciers increase the likelihood of coastal flooding each year. Inland, cities in arid climates are at risk of flash floods caused by heavy rain (which is intensified by climate change), while overflowing rivers and reservoirs are the main contributors of flooding in cities such as Sacramento and San Jose.
- High flood risk, high demand? Despite having the highest risk of flooding in the nation, the real estate market in nearly all of the twenty most vulnerable cities is healthier than average this year. While it is true that the real estate market across the country is booming in 2021, housing markets are hotter than average among the twenty cities on this list. In fact, houses in these top 20 cities are selling for more than one and a half times the national average and lasting less than two-thirds the average time on the market before being sold. Specifically, the average home listing price among these top twenty cities is $613,999 , which is 68 percent higher than the national average, while the average house is on the market only 35 days before being sold, 38 percent below the national average.
Methodology
The data science team at Insurify, a website to compare homeowners insurance , referred to data from the University of Notre Dame’s Urban Adaptation Assessment to determine the most vulnerable cities to flooding in 2021. Data on the probability of a major flood within the next two decades (before 2040), the proportion of the population and critical infrastructure exposed to the flooding hazard , as well as the economic , social , and governance measures in place to combat it were gathered from the University of Notre Dame’s Adaptation Assessment. These statistics were used to create a composite score quantifying each city’s relative vulnerability to flooding. Composite scores were then normalized to a 0-100 scale, with a higher score indicative of a higher probability of flooding, higher sensitivity, and lower levels of preparedness. The 20 cities with the highest scores were identified as the most vulnerable in the nation to flooding.
Real estate statistics by city (median listing price and time on market) were gathered from Realtor.com. In order to account for month-to-month fluctuations in these statistics, Insurify’s data scientists took the average of their most recent three months for each city.
The cost of flooding to homeowners in the United States was gathered from the First Street Foundation’s Flood Factor report.
Which city is the most vulnerable to flooding, 2021?
Saint Petersburg, Florida is the most vulnerable to flooding compared to all other metro areas in the United States, with a Flood Risk Score of 100 out of 100. This designation is based on a statistical analysis of climatological and sociological data.

Welcoming the Supreme Court’s historic decision to put the controversial sedition law on hold, Congress General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala said that the apex court’s latest verdict sends a clear message — “free Speech will not be throttled by autocrats & dictators masquerading as rulers”.
“Suppressors and subjugators sitting in citadels of power be forewarned,” the Congress leader tweeted soon after the Supreme Court pronounced its verdict. “ Speaking truth to power can’t be sedition and status quo will change.”
Historic indee!
Supreme Court has sent a clear message.

The apex court Wednesday observed that it will not be appropriate to continue using the sedition law until the re-examination of Section 124A dealing with the offence of sedition is complete. Urging the Centre and states to refrain from registering any FIR invoking sedition charges till re-examination is completed, the top court said: “All pending cases, appeals and proceedings with respect to charges framed for sedition should be kept in abeyance.”
The Centre on Wednesday informed the Supreme Court that staying the provision may not be the right approach. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said, “a cognizable offence cannot be prevented from being registered, staying the effect may not be a correct approach and therefore, there has to be a responsible officer for scrutiny, and his satisfaction is subject to judicial review.”

Independent MP Helen Haines says creating a federal integrity commission "with teeth" will be her key demand in negotiating with major parties in the event of a hung parliament.
The Australia Institute on Wednesday released voter polling showing three quarters of respondents from both sides of politics considered integrity issues more or equally important this election as the 2019 poll.
More than 30 per cent of those surveyed said integrity was more important this election than the previous one.

Ms Haines, who proposed an integrity model for debate in parliament last year, said voters were telling her they believed governments were making decisions for political gain and not public good.
"We've got a problem because some people will in fact give up on democracy if that's what they truly believe is going on," she told a panel discussion on Wednesday.
"If we don't have trust in our democracy then we can't lead the country to where it needs to go."
The Indi MP said in the event of a hung parliament she will demand either party implements an integrity commission "with teeth" to garner her support.
She said her non-negotiables included that the model must be accountable, allow for public hearings, referrals and reporting, include a broad definition of corruption and have capacity for retrospectivity.
"If we're trying to shine a light into dark places, we must have that level of accountability," she said.
"My negotiations, if we were in that hypothetical situation of a hung parliament, would indeed include include the assurance that any model that was put forward by either side incorporated those key principles that I've outlined."
Fellow independent MP Zali Steggall told the panel retrospectivity was crucial if Australia wanted to increase trust in the government.
"It also creates a deterrent for future governments so that they don't always think this is only a problem for the future but their past conduct is never up for review," she said.
"I would argue it's probably why it's something Scott Morrison doesn't like to talk about and certainly doesn't support at this time."
The prime minister has described NSW's ICAC model as a "kangaroo court" and on Tuesday said he did not believe any of the state models should be followed as they were "driven by populism" and the "latest thought bubble".
Anthony Albanese said a powerful, transparent and independent anti-corruption commission would be a priority of a Labor government.
However, Labor plans to put together its own proposal for a commission after seeking advice from the attorney-general's department.

There's trouble in the world of Percy Jackson, and it's not just caused by the Lightning Thief.
Back in April, the upcoming Disney+ reboot series cast The Adam Project star Walker Scobell as the protagonist Percy Jackson. Late last week that casting was followed by a Variety report about two other key characters. Aryan Simhadri was cast as Grover and Leah Sava Jeffries joined as Annabeth, rounding out most of the series' primary cast.
In the original books, Annabeth is the daughter of the Greek goddess Athena. She's a warrior who trains Percy early on, later becoming friends and then more than that as the series progresses. In the previous film adaptation, she was played by Alexandra Daddario.
There's been some backlash in the fan community to Jeffries casting as Annabeth, notably for the fact that she's Black. In an Instagram video posted earlier today, the 12-year-old actress said that people angry with her casting had gotten her TikTok account banned.
In response to the backlash, Percy Jackson creator Rick Riordan released a statement on his personal website. He noted that most of the response was positive and condemned those that have issues with Jeffries in the role.
"If you have a problem with this casting, however, take it up with me," said Riordan. "You have no one else to blame. Whatever else you take from this post, we should be able to agree that bullying and harassing a child online is inexcusably wrong. As strong as Leah is, as much as we have discussed the potential for this kind of reaction and the intense pressure this role will bring, the negative comments she has received online are out of line. They need to stop. Now."
Riordan said that the casting for the series was always intended to be open and inclusive. He called the overall casting process "long, intense, massive and exhaustive." Riordan insisted that Jeffries was the best actress for the role.
He went further, dismissing claims from those who said Annebeth had to be white to match up with the books. Riordan explained that those claims have come "from across the political spectrum, right and left," but he denounced them all the same. "You are judging her appropriateness for this role solely and exclusively on how she looks. Friends, that is racism," he stated.
He called on fans to remember the themes of the Percy Jackson books. "The core message of Percy Jackson has always been that difference is strength. There is power in plurality. The things that distinguish us from one another are often our marks of individual greatness. You should never judge someone by how well they fit your preconceived notions. That neurodivergent kid who has failed out of six schools, for instance, may well be the son of Poseidon. Anyone can be a hero. If you don’t get that, if you’re still upset about the casting of this marvelous trio, then it doesn’t matter how many times you have read the books. You didn’t learn anything from them," Riordan stated.
This is not the first time that actors or actresses of color in a Disney project, or any project with a strong fan community, have gotten backlash. Both John Boyega and Kelly Marie-Tran experienced mistreatment from fans and potentially Disney itself. The Flash actress Candice Patton has received online harassment for years, ever since she was originally cast as Iris West in the series. Eventually, the CW responded in an official statement on Twitter. And way back in 2012, Amandla Stenberg faced a great deal of harassment for playing Rue in The Hunger Games. She was 13 at the time.
The Percy Jackson reboot was announced for Disney+ back in 2020, alongside a host of other shows and films. That included most of the Marvel Studios shows, including The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and the upcoming Ms. Marvel. It also included Obi-Wan Kenobi, the series that will reunite Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen. That show is airing on Disney+ on May 27, 2022.

VENICE — The City Council voted 6-0 Tuesday to accept $1 million from Sarasota County to complete the final design and permitting for the widening of Laurel Road.
But it did so on the condition that it get to work with the county on alternatives to a roundabout at the Ridgewood Avenue/Pinebrook Road intersection.
The $1 million was one of a number of proposals the county made last month to address transportation in the Venice area, including improving the Pinebrook Road/East Venice Avenue intersection.
The option the county prefers includes the roundabout but residents of that area of the city don’t want it, said Steve Carr, a member of a Central Venice Coalition committee that worked on recommendations to be presented to the Council May 24.
The CVC recommends that Pinebrook Road not be widened, and that traffic mitigation devices be implemented to discourage the use of it other than by residents.
The Council also voted to direct its lobbyist to work with State Rep. James Buchanan to try to obtain funding for the Laurel Road project and to join with the county in seeking donations of land along the right of way.

A 12-year-old boy critically injured when he fell from the roof of a half-built house will have his life support turned off by his devastated family.
Joshua Field was playing inside an unsecured construction site with three other children on Monday night when he lost his balance and fell from a height. A loose metal beam then landed on his head.
His brother and cousins had also been at the site, with CCTV footage from a nearby property witnessing the trio rushing for help around 7.45pm and consoling each other before an ambulance arrived.
Joshua was taken to hospital with serious head injuries but never regained consciousness.
On Wednesday, his family made the heartbreaking decision to turn off his life-support.
His sister, Charnt’e Turner, said her brother fought for his life, but couldn’t be saved.
“He is a hero even tho [sic] he never made it, he is helping others in need by donating his heart, lungs and kidney to save another’s life,” she said.
Turner has set up a GoFundMe page to help her step-mother with the costs of Joshua’s funeral.
“All the money that is raised will go towards the cost of the funeral, wake, and all the other expenses,” she said.
“Myself and my whole family will forever be grateful and appreciative of all the help and support from everyone.”
WorkSafe is investigating the tragedy with the builder on Tuesday ordered to secure the fencing around the site, and erect ‘no entry’ signs.
“The WHS Act places a duty on a person conducting a business to ensure the safety and health of workers and others,” the watchdog said in a statement.
“Construction sites are known high-risk environments that present risks to workers and others.”
Neighbour Christine Watson said neighbours had been requesting increased night patrols in the area.
“This is really distressing, absolutely distressing,” she said.
“Why does it have to take this to get some action to keep our children safe, and our properties safe?”

Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom has insisted that the law banning open grazing in the state is irrevocable just as he told the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore that he is prepared to meet them in court for any legal battle.
Secretary-General of the group, Saleh Hassan at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, May 9th, 2022 threatened that they will take legal action against the Benue State Government over what he claimed were illegal seizures of cows belonging to their members on account of violation of the ban on open grazing of cattle in the state.
Governor Ortom in a swift reaction dismissed claims by the group that the cattle seized in the state by the Livestock Guards for violating the anti-open grazing law in the state were done illegally.
"There is a law in place. And it is very clear that anyone who allows his or her cattle to roam freely in the state violates the law. When such herds are seized by the Livestock Guards, a time frame is given for owners to come forward and claim. When the time given by law elapses, we are left with no option but to auction. And that is what has taken place."
He stated that "As a state, we are law-abiding and we cannot allow lawlessness," explaining that the law came into force in 2017 and was reviewed this year after it underwent every legislative process. "So anybody or group who violates it will bear the consequences.”
He stated: “We are prepared to meet them in court. The law is made to be obeyed so that we can have an orderly society. This law protects the interest of everyone irrespective of tribe or religion. It protects herders against rustling and also protects farmers who suffer the loss of their crops."
Governor Ortom maintained that "Everyone is free to ply his or her legitimate business in this state in so much as they do not infringe on the provisions of this law against open grazing."
The Governor said he will not compromise the security and welfare of all citizens and inhabitants in the state. | https://www.cknnigeria.com/2022/05/seizure-of-crows-you-can-meet-me-in.html | 2022-05-11T08:24:24Z | https://www.cknnigeria.com/2022/05/seizure-of-crows-you-can-meet-me-in.html | false | 7 |

Warwick Valley Chorale to sing music from 19th century, Broadway and Gwyneth Walker originals
Award-winning composer Gwyneth Walker will be in the audience.
The Warwick Valley Chorale will offer two performances of its 81st annual Spring concerts. This season’s repertoire will include a program of American music, ranging from the early 19th Century to Broadway hits to music from Dr. Gwyneth Walker, led by interim conductor Dennis English and accompanied by Gail Johnson,
Dr. Walker, an internationally esteemed, award-winning American composer, will be in the Chorale’s audience this month to hear her new music performed. She has been a friend and musical colleague of the Warwick Valley Chorale for more than a decade, and dedicated her song, “The Wings of a Dove,” to the memory of the Chorale’s longtime conductor, Stanley Curtis, following his tragic death from COVID in 2020. This will be the fifth concert in which Dr. Walker’s music figures prominently, including her arrangement of the group’s signature piece, “Down to the River to Pray,” which the Chorale commissioned from her in 2015.

Barcelona
Once their presence in the next Champions League is mathematically assured, the culé team will try to put the best possible finishing touch on the season. His objective in the remaining three days: certify the second place that will ensure his participation in the Spanish Super Cup. He comes from beating Betis at Villamarín with a great goal from Jordi Alba. For this game, Xavi will have Dest, Piqué, Sergi Roberto, Nico and Pedri out due to injury and Busquets due to card accumulation. In return, he will get Ter Stegen back under the sticks.
Ace to follow: Riqui Puig. With Busquets sanctioned, a door opens for the midfielder from Matadepera. With hardly any prominence this year, he is facing one of the last opportunities to convince Xavi.

Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Judah. Good morning, and thank you for joining us. Sterling's first quarter of 2022 was exceptional and continued the momentum we saw throughout our record 2021. Starting with Slide 4, our results this quarter were stellar.
We reported approximately 38% revenue growth, including organic constant currency revenue growth of 30%, even as we laughed a strong 17% revenue growth in the first quarter of 2021. We also saw 8% growth from our EBI acquisition, which has been outperforming our expectation thus far. We saw a double-digit organic revenue growth in almost all of Sterling's regions and verticals, and we are particularly proud of the 10% growth we saw from new business in the quarter. The U.S.
saw particularly strong results at 46% growth, and international grew low double digits on a constant currency basis, in line with our long-term expectation, and 24% when normalized for one-time revenues in the UK during the first quarter of 2021. Importantly, we are not solely relying on cyclical trends to drive our strong results. We are executing on our playbook and winning new logos at a fast pace and outperforming our cross-sell, upsell targets due to our innovative product offerings and reputation for customer service excellence. Base growth also continues to be a contributor to our strong results.
These first-quarter results are excellent but are not new for us. As shown on Slide 5, this was Sterling's fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth and our seventh consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth in dollars. It's been just a few years since we launched our strategy at the end of 2018, and we have hit our stride with consistency and momentum that we expect to continue. As a result of our strong first quarter and confidence in our outlook for the full year, we have increased our full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance while also being mindful of the macro-environment.
For 2022, we now expect to generate revenues of $770 million to $780 million, representing year-over-year growth of 20% to 21.5%, adjusted EBITDA of $210 million to $216 million, representing year-over-year growth of 17% to 20.5%, and adjusted net income of $112 million to $115 million, representing year-over-year growth of 21% to 25%. We continue to feel great about our playbook and execution. At the same time, we are cognizant of the near-term recessionary risks and the impacts an economic slowdown could have on the overall economy and our industry. We are not seeing these cyclical pressures on client orders and revenue at this time, but our outlook accounts for a potential slowdown from inflationary or recessionary pressures.
We believe that our continued success in new business, upsell from new products such as identity, and client retention, make us a resilient company through different cycles. Moving to Slide 6, we continue to refine our corporate strategy and are committed to delivering shareholder value by executing on the growth opportunities in front of us. We are focused on our aspiration to be the world's most trusted background and identity services company and have a number of key execution elements to help us achieve our goals. These include increasing our revenues with existing clients, acquiring new clients, growing market share internationally, and utilizing M&A to supplement our organic revenue growth among the other focus areas on Slide 6.
We believe we are well-positioned and differentiated from competitors due to our deep market expertise, unrivaled client service, best-in-class data, and seamless workflows. Turning now to Slide 7. During the first quarter, we executed against our growth strategy through a continued focus on innovation and execution. Today, I will discuss two areas of innovation, seamless workflows and our identity offerings.
Peter will speak about our new business growth and M&A execution in the course of his financial discussion of the quarter and guidance. Let's start with innovation. Innovation has always been a part of our DNA. We pioneered criminal fulfillment technology, arrest record and incarceration alert products, post-hire monitoring capabilities, AI-enhanced record review and validation processes, the industry's only proprietary technology in a single-source U.S.
nationwide fingerprint network, and identity verification combined with background checks. Sterling's dynamic culture of improvement and innovation is as strong as ever. We are constantly modernizing our platforms and tools, and we believe we are the best-in-class across our candidate and client experiences. Sterling's Candidate Hub and Client Hub remain a big reason for our growth since 2019.
These simplified and streamlined experiences help us win new business and enable us to have strong retention of our existing client base. The Sterling hubs are mobile-optimized and designed to allow Sterling to collect the information necessary to process any combination of criminal checks, identity verifications, drug and health screening, and education and employee e-verifications. Moreover, the hubs are scalable to serve our global client base and flexible to adapt to changing dynamics across industries. Looking at Slide 8, we offer a modern and mobile-friendly candidate experience.
Over the last few years, we have focused on optimizing the interface of the hub to be intuitive and easy to use, creating a modern streamlined experience that helps candidates manage their background screening tasks with ease, and while on the go. In fact, 68% of candidates use their mobile device throughout the screening process, and candidates can complete the process in around six minutes. Candidates can provide new information necessary to complete screening and upload documents with ease from any device. As part of our culture to constantly modernize, we have made several recent feature enhancements to the candidate experience.
In the first quarter, we added a new self-service Check My Status Tool, which provides candidates with a quick streamlined way to check the current status of their background check, including target dates for completion by email notification. We have also continued adding new preferred languages to help more candidates complete screening tasks with ease. With the recent additions of Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Dutch, Italian, and Turkish, we now fully support 15 languages in our core global platform, while supporting 35 languages globally. We will continue to add more languages to our candidate experience, as it is integral to our international expansion strategy and distinguishes us from competitors.
Finally, we are continuously striving to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines with feature enhancements to our candidate experience that help improve inclusion by serving a wider audience. We are proud to offer a candidate experience that's accessible to all people, regardless of technology or ability. Moving to Slide 9, our modern client hub is designed to help clients manage screening tasks with ease through an intuitive order dashboard and front and center real-time order status and results. Client Hub is designed with our clients screening workflows in mind, and we believe we do this more effectively than anyone.
Clients can monitor the progress, distribute work across their teams, view reports, and most importantly, review candidates and get them into their roles, all while remaining compliant. This is important to all our clients but especially important to our high-volume clients. Recently, we have made several innovative enhancements to our client experience, which have received positive reviews from clients. We introduced a new data comparison feature that offers a quick easy way for clients to detect candidate data differences between information provided to our clients and what candidates provide to us.
Clients can easily confirm the most accurate and up-to-date candidate data, accelerating time to hire. Clients are thrilled that a previously manual process is now simplified, saving them valuable time. We also introduced an easy-to-read overview tab that streamlines how searches appear in the client hub. With this enhancement, clients can view a high-level summary of all services associated with an order, including completed searches, searches currently out for fulfillment by Sterling, and searches that are still in a draft status.
This streamlines the client experience by making it easier to locate search details and manage as the candidate moves through the hiring process. Turning to Slide 10, identity verification is another great example of our innovation-led approach and first-to-market solution. So I thought I would share some updates on our traction today. As we discussed in our last earnings call, we've used Sterling Identity as a strategic pillar on equal footing to background screening, and we are very excited about our early traction.
Our exclusive partnerships with FINRA and ID.me are significant competitive differentiators, and we only started capitalizing on these opportunities at the end of 2021. Several secular trends continue to drive demand for identity verification services, including the increasing number of fraud and identity theft globally, and the rise in remote or hybrid work models. In order to capitalize on these macro-trends, we are focused on innovative product development and strategic alliances. As FINRA's designated fingerprint provider, all financial services industry fingerprints must now flow through Sterling.
Clients can continue to use their existing provider for collection, in which case we still process and channel the fingerprints on FINRA's behalf. Those that switch and come to Sterling directly benefit from the modern consolidated experience, gaining access to our convenient nationwide biometrics network and streamlining their candidates experience through a single application process to launch a background check and biometric validation. The benefits of switching are resonating with prospective clients, as around 30% of FINRA's 3,800 member firms have voluntarily chosen to move their fingerprinting services to Sterling. We are thrilled at the initial adoption rate and expect this trend to continue.
Even more importantly, the FINRA deal is a testament to our leadership in the identity space and is serving as a strong lead generation tool within the financial services industry. When prospect switched to fingerprinting directly with Sterling, there's an opportunity to upsell Sterling's background screening offerings. We are just getting started on this front and expect to have exciting updates to share with you in coming quarters. We've also had some exciting early traction with identity verification in our ID.me partnership where we can increase our package density through the adoption of identity services.
After running pilots with a few key enterprise clients during the summer and fall, we recently went live with our first handful of enterprise clients. The number of clients choosing to add identity verification to their background screening packages is growing, and we made great strides during the first quarter in optimizing our identity workflows, designing the support models and creating automated customizable reporting to lay the groundwork for growth over coming quarters and years. We also increased our focus on educating the market in recent months. There is a common misconception among most of our clients and prospects that identity verification is already happening as part of a background check.
When clients are made aware that it is not, the interest of adopting identity services is significant. As an example, one large financial services client recently had instances of bad actors purposefully throwing off social security numbers and other key data screens in an attempt to evade the background check. Several other clients have reported cases of one person going through a Zoom interview and a completely different person showing up for work. We are partnering with clients like these and more to implement ID.me, and early results have been very positive.
During the first quarter, we saw significant momentum in identity verification. We went live with several new enterprise clients. One deals with several new enterprise clients which will go live over coming months and have a deep pipeline of other firms with whom we are in serious discussion. In terms of the economics, the addition of identity services to existing packages is currently driving a greater than 10% increase in package price, with increasing margins.
Given that we are in the very nation stages of adding identity to our background packages, we are very excited about the opportunity this presents for our business. In conclusion, we entered 2022 with a lot of enthusiasm, and thus far, we have been executing ahead of plan. We are confident in our ability to execute organically and to build for the future, with our belief that a focus on innovation and new business wins will pave a path toward continued sustainable and profitable organic revenue growth for years to come. And now, I will hand it over to Peter Walker, our CFO, to take you through our financial results and updated 2022 guidance.
Peter Walker -- Chief Financial Officer
Thank you, Josh, and good morning, everyone. Turning now to an overview of our most recent quarterly performance on Slide 12. During the first quarter of 2022, we reported company record quarterly revenues of $192 million. This was approximately 38% increase compared to the first quarter of 2021, including over 30% organic constant currency revenue growth, and 8% contribution from M&A, partially offset by 70 basis points drag due to foreign currency translation.
The organic revenue increase included over 20% of base revenue growth, including cross-sell, upsell, net of attrition, and approximately 10% of new customer growth. We are very encouraged that our quarter strong results are driven by all four of our revenue drivers performing at the high-end or above the target range. We are seeing significant success in the areas of our business within our control. Our growth from new logos remain strong with approximately 10% revenue growth during the quarter and many sizable deals rolling in overcoming quarters.
Notably, the first quarter's revenues from new business was a solid sequential increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. As part of our strategic transformation over the past few years, we've invested in enhancing our sales and go-to-market strategies to be well-positioned to take market share in the fragmented background screening market, and those investments continue to bear fruit. We've also seen encouraging progress in our cross-sell, upsell strategy, where we've been consistently delivering at the high-end, or above our 4% to 5% target range, with continued encouraging adoption of newer products and features, such as identity verification, fingerprinting, and post-hire monitoring. Prospects and clients value our innovation-led approach to product development, and we've rolled out many new tools and features to our platform, which increase customer satisfaction, clients stickiness, and package density.
Base growth also continues to be a significant contributor to our results due to a strong labor market and secular tailwinds, such as remote work, millennial churn, and continued growth of the gig economy, which are driving increased labor turnover. It's not enough to simply win new logos and increase wallet share with clients. We are laser-focused on keeping our clients and we've seen consistent improvement in our gross retention rate since we launched our strategy in 2018. Our investments in technology and product, coupled with our best-in-class turnaround times and customer-first focus, drove more than a 200 basis point improvement in our last 12 months' gross retention rate to 96%.
A significant achievement, even as we still see room for improvement. Moving to revenues by region, revenue in our U.S. business grew by robust 46% compared to the first quarter of 2021. We saw broad-based strength across our industry verticals, with particularly exceptional results in our gig and industrials verticals.
As we executed our growth playbook and the U.S. economy benefited from strong macro-economic factors. In recent years, we've been strategic in selecting high-growth verticals with significant opportunity for our business. We saw those efforts pay off during 2021 and the momentum has continued during 2022.
Revenue in our international business grew by 11% on an organic constant currency basis, solidly within our long-term expectations with three points of impact from currency fluctuations. As we anticipated, the first quarter of 2020 solid results included a lower growth rate in Europe, specifically driven by one-time COVID revenues from a government agency in Q1 of 2021. Normalizing the prior-year period for this non-recurring item, internationals organic constant currency revenue growth during the first quarter of 2022 was 24%, and our total company's revenue growth was 41%. The 8% percent in organic revenue growth during the first quarter reflects the contribution of EBI, our November 2021 acquisition.
We're very pleased with this performance as it was above our expectations, driven by strong base growth and client retention. We've increased our four-year outlook for EBI contribution to revenues. I'll provide more color on that shortly. Due to our strong top-line results, first-quarter adjusted EBITDA was $47.6 million representing a 29% year-over-year increase compared to the first quarter of '21.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter of 2022 was approximately 25%. In line with our expectations, and with the guidance we provided during our fourth-quarter earnings call, as anticipated, our attractive underlying incremental margins were balanced by a full quarter of public company costs, EBIs lower margins, and some incremental investments to staff ahead of new business coming online. We expect the impact of margins from public company costs and EBI will continue during 2022, we will moderate over the course of the year as we lap our September IPO, as well as integrate the EBI acquisition and realized cost synergies. We had adjusted net income of $24.4 million or $0.25 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2022, representing year-over-year growth and adjusted earnings per share of 47%.
This growth is primarily driven by strong year-over-year revenue growth and operating income. Our adjusted effective tax rate in the first quarter was 30% due to a discrete tax item, and we expect the rate to be in the range of 27% to 29% for the full year, including approximately 26% to 28% for the balance of 2022. Turning to Slide 13, free cash flow in the first quarter was a usage of $2 million. This was in line with our internal expectations and driven by return to our normal cadence of cash bonus payments, including overperformance for 2021 versus significantly lower payments in the first quarter of '21 as well as the timing of interest in tax payments in the quarter.
We continue to expect full-year free cash flow conversion of adjusted EBITDA of 45% to 50% similar to the rate achieved in 2021. Our net leverage at quarter-end was 2.4 times net debt to adjusted EBITDA, squarely inside our two to three times net leverage target. Our net leverage continues to decline due to our strong adjusted EBITDA growth and is poised to continue declining absent any future M&A. We ended the quarter with total debt of $509 million, cash and cash equivalents of $44 million, and approximately $140 million available under our revolver, providing us with ample capacity to execute our growth strategy reinvesting into organic revenue growth and pursuing M&A.
In terms of capital allocation, our priorities have not changed since the time of our IPO, investing into organic revenue growth, pursuing M&A, and maintaining a healthy balance sheet. While our top priority remains organic revenue growth through share gains and market share, we see a compelling opportunity to complement our strong growth with a targeted, disciplined approach to strategic M&A. We expect market consolidation to accelerate over the coming years, and we plan to be a key player in that dynamic. Sterling has a successful history in M&A, completing 11 deals in 11 years, including EBI that I will speak to in a moment.
Many of these transactions laid the groundwork for the healthy version of Sterling that you see today. After taking a three-year pause on M&A from 2018 in order to focus on our strategic transformation, there are several reasons why Sterling is now well-positioned to once again be an active player in M&A. First, our core business engine is firing on all cylinders with very strong organic revenue and EBITDA growth demonstrating our belief that Sterling strategy, customer service, and operations are best in class. Second, our tech transformation is mostly behind us, enabling us to integrate deals rapidly through automation and API integration.
And third, the deal pipeline has expanded with some targets looking to exit post-pandemic. We reentered the M&A market with our November 2021 acquisition of EBI. And so far, the deal's been even more successful than we expected both from a business and financial perspective. We are in the midst of the deal integration and are very encouraged by the enthusiasm EBI clients to move on to our platform quickly in order to benefit from enhanced capabilities, and access to new products.
The success of this deal and integration provide us with confidence that we are well-prepared to pursue additional M&A. On Slides 14 and 15, we provide our updated guidance for 2022. For 2022, we now expect to generate revenues of $770 million to $780 million representing year-over-year growth of 20% to 21.5%. Adjusted EBITDA of $210 million to $216 million, representing year-over-year growth of 17% to 20.5%, and adjusted net income of $112 million to $115 million representing year-over-year growth of 21% to 25%.
As shown on Slide 15, our guidance includes full-year organic constant currency revenue growth of 14.5% to 16.5% a substantial increase from our previous guidance of 10% to 12%. For the contribution from the acquisition of EBI, we are trending toward the high end of our previous guidance of 5% to 5.5%. And we are assuming at least a 25 basis point drag from fluctuation in foreign currency compared to assuming no impact in our previous guidance. We've increased our full-year organic constant currency revenue guidance to reflect the excellent quarter we just reported an increase confidence in our outlook for the remainder of the year.
As Josh mentioned, we have not seen any significant impact from macroeconomic slowdown but we're being thoughtful in our forecasts, and have thus incorporated some possibility of economic slowdown into our 2022 guidance. If fears around recession ultimately failed to materialize in a meaningful way, that would represent upside to our guidance. Turning to profitability, our guidance includes adjusted EBITDA growth of 17% to 20.5% and implies a 2022 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.5% at the midpoint, which would be slightly below our 2021 levels and at the lower end of our previous guidance. As we said last quarter, 2022 underlying margin expansion of at least 100 basis points is being muted by the absorption of three quarters of public company costs and the acquisition of lower margin EBI prior to full integration.
Moreover, the benefits from margins from better than expected organic revenue growth is being balanced by a few items. First, we're seeing more contribution from the lower margin EBI revenues than originally forecasted. Second, we've recently hired additional staff earlier than our historic onboarding time lines. This ensures we can find staff in the challenging labor market while supporting the incremental business coming online.
And third, related to this incremental hiring, wage inflation for entry-level workers has picked up since our March earnings call. The year-over-year impact on margins for public company costs and EBI will be most felt at the beginning of the year, but should steadily alleviate as we go through 2022 and benefit from lapping the IPO plus EBI cost synergies. Additionally, the new revenues coming online, the impact from our advanced hiring will be normalized. As a result, we expect Q2 margins in line with our Q1 margins, and for margins to improve sequentially in the back half of the year.
Finally, turning to our adjusted net income growth guidance of 21% to 25%. We will benefit this year from reduced DNA, which should drive strong growth to the bottom line well in excess of our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth. We've taken into account the macroeconomic environment and increased our four-year interest expense assumption by $4 million, or roughly three points of adjusted net income growth. We remain encouraged by the leverage in our financial model, driving strong adjusted net income growth during 2022, even in the absence of Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion.
To further help with your modeling, we've included a page in the appendix with our assumptions for 2022. In closing, we are reaffirming our long-term targets on Slide 16. Over the next three to five years, we are targeting an annual organic revenue growth rate of 9% to 11% with adjusted even of margins, ultimately expanding to 29% to 32% or more over that period, as well as annual adjusted net income growth of 15% to 20% per year. We're thrilled with the trajectory of our company and the resilient business model we built.
That concludes the prepared remarks. At this time operator, please open the lines for questions.
Questions & Answers:
Operator
[Operator instructions] And our first question today is from George Tong from Goldman Sachs.
George Tong -- Goldman Sachs -- Analyst
So Sterling is at a strong start to the year. I guess, relative to your initial expectations, can you elaborate on the factors that drove the upside in the quarter? And if some of those trench continue or if you're expecting a mean reversion or any sort of reversal in some of the upside drivers.
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, George, it's Josh. So I think, you know, first of all, we're very pleased with our Q1 results. It is better than what our expectations were coming into the year. And we saw ourselves, you know, at the high end or beating each of our growth drivers, which is a continuation of the trend that we've seen actually for the last, you know, couple years, particularly last year, which is why we've had the five straight quarters of double-digit growth and the seven straight quarters of sequential quarter over quarter growth.
So we are continuing to see that trend as we look out over the rest of the year, as we said in the call, you know, we're seeing really no change to the macro environment for us. We're not hearing from clients any changes to their hiring plans. You know, I think if you look at, you know, the churn rates, a recent report from Gardner, for example, those are expected to be elevated for, you know, the foreseeable future and Gartner estimated it at a 20% increased churn rate, you know, over kind of pre-pandemic levels on a long term basis. So all those trends continue to be in our favor and we continue to benefit from those.
I think we just look at the rest of the year, and first of all, the comps do get tougher which, you know, is the result of our great year last year. And also as we said, you know, we are taking a little bit of a conservative view for the rest of the year, just in terms of the macro environment and making sure that if there is any pullback, we have room for that, but that's in our four-point raise to revenue guidance and our, you know, $30 million raise overall to our revenue guidance. So we feel very good about the year, feel good about the new guidance and, you know, expect to see our trends continue in terms of beating those metrics. Certainly, the ones that we control.
George Tong -- Goldman Sachs -- Analyst
Got it. Very helpful. And then secondly, you talked about seeing some inflationary impact on the business. Can you elaborate on how input costs at Sterling are trending in the current environment? And what type of pricing increases are you currently passing through to customers and do those increases fully offset the inflationary impact of input costs?
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Great. Thanks, George. So first of all, I think the main comment that Peter made in the presentation is that because of our strong revenue growth and our expectation that our revenue growth continues to be strong, we're actually making sure that we're hiring the people we need to support that revenue. And given how challenging the job market has been in terms of getting people on board, which is actually helping our business, we're hiring those people sooner than we normally would have.
So that's the biggest driver on our cost lines, versus actual inflation is actually just that hiring ahead that we're doing. We are seeing for those entry-level jobs, a little bit of wage inflation, which is also a factor that we're being aware of. We don't expect that to be a long-term impact on the business but it is short-term as we're bringing those people on in advance of the revenue by a couple of months more than what we normally would have. In terms of input costs, to the extent that we're seeing cost raise increases from a particular vendor, we pass those along straight through with a pass-through cost.
So there, it's just getting passed through it 100%. I think as we're seeing overall costs rise, however, and the things that we don't pass through, we are considering a price increase sometime later in the year. We've been taking a wait-and-see approach to be careful. Typically, in the past, we've done CPI level increases.
Obviously, that's a more significant number if we look at that, you know, given the current macro environment, and we'll be happy to come back and share more details on what we decided to do with that. But we would expect to be able to cover those cost increases that we're seeing through a price increase.

The next question is from Andrew Steinerman from J.P. Morgan.
Alex Hess -- J.P. Morgan -- Analyst
This is Alex Hess on for Andrew Steinerman. I want to talk about the 10% new logo growth in the quarter. Can you maybe drill down on some of the sectors where that's coming from? And then maybe is that more on the domestic or the international side and where's there still room to improve there in your view?
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Sure. So, you know, first of all, we're really excited that we continue [Inaudible] 10% and do logo growth. As you know, our long-term algorithm is 7% to 8%. So continue to overperform that and for first quarter the actual dollars of new logo were higher than 4Q.
And to answer your question about where we're seeing it, we're seeing broad-based new logo growth across the verticals and across our regions. So really strong performance across the business.
Alex Hess -- J.P. Morgan -- Analyst
Great. And then a quick follow-up on the EBI acquisition, can you maybe provide us some color on how that integration process is going and how you're sort of weighing the transports versus what's left of Project Ignite? And that's all from me.
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Great. Thanks, Alex. It's Josh. So first, I think we're very pleased with the overall EBI acquisition, particularly the client responses, they've seen our tools and our workflows and what we're able to bring to them.
And then, you know, once we moved them, our ability to upsell them, as they're getting excited about some of the offerings we have, that were not available on the EBI platform. What we've started to do is move some customers earlier than we expected, just based on where those customers, you know, really wanted to move more quickly to get those benefits. But we have not at this point changed our plans in terms of the 12 to 18 months that we gave in terms of getting to the full synergy run-rate and finishing the integration. We do continue to look at whether accelerating that versus transport makes sense.
But thus far, you know, we've really continued to move down the path we were in before the EBI acquisition. Most of our technical work for transport should be completed in Q2, and very early in Q3. So we want to finish that work first and then when it's just about which customers we move, we'll revisit that as we get into Q3 and update to that.

The next question is from Toni Kaplan from Morgan Stanley.
Greg Parrish -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
This is Greg Parrish on for Toni. Congrats on the strong results. I want to talk about your long-term 29% to 32% Adjusted EBITDA margin, and I appreciate all the factors you called out impacting this year. As we think about the pacing to get to those target to the sort of straight line, are you expecting to kind of hit the bottom end in year three from now maybe, you know, broadly, how should we think about that?
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Yes. So I [Inaudible] you up to what we've talked about in terms of incremental revenue flow through which we expect to be 45% to 50%. And as we can achieve that, that's going to move us forward in the Adjusted EBITDA targets, you know, from where we projected this year to be about 27.5% to the 32% plus. So we're not giving, you know, guidance by year at this point looking out, but with EBI being fully integrated sometime in 2023, we're closing out of the Ignite Project.
We can continue to see opportunities for margin expansion.
Greg Parrish -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Great. And then from a follow-up, I just wanted to talk to Josh about owning data in the industry and maybe like why you have the strategy that you do and, you know, one of your competitors is taking a different approach. Do you think that's a competitive advantage or, you know, maybe the answer is no? But maybe you can kind of talk about, you know, why you have the strategy that you do and, you know, how was that versus your competitor?
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Sure. Thanks, Greg. So I think, first, I would point you to the strategy Slide that we have in the presentation where we do talk about a slight refinement to our strategy. And you'll note in there that one of the differentiators we call out is best-in-class data.
And so best in class data, to us, doesn't always mean proprietary. It means whatever is the most quality data, and most up-to-date data that can be delivered to our client. And in many cases, that's going to the primary source like a courthouse in the criminal, which is, you know, the overwhelming majority of what we do, or going to, wherever, you know, the most reliable source might be if it's a vendor. So that is key to us and it's a reason we win new business, because clients know that we're not skimping, we're giving them the best result that we possibly can.
But you'll also note that we talk about, you know, really leveraging proprietary data in our strategy statement, which is a slight adaptation from where we were, and part of what we're saying there is, longer term, we do think that we have very, very valuable data that could be used in other contexts, not even necessarily just in background screening. We have very, very large numbers of records, very, very specific data, similar to what our competitors talk about. We just don't give numbers that don't have real meaning in terms of value to our investors today or our clients. So, you know, when it's appropriate, we can use that, and certainly, as the data becomes, you know, a larger part of what we have in terms of records, we'll use that more frequently and that'll be something we'll start to talk about as a value in terms of being able to improve margins down the road.
But what we're more excited about is the opportunity to actually monetize that data outside of our core business and create another revenue stream that we believe could be at much higher margin. And you know, with my experience, from Dun & Bradstreet and in MasterCard, where I managed some of those data assets, what we have is really unique and could be valuable over time. So that's something as we think of a three to five-year strategy going forward and refine that now as a public company, we see that opportunity as something that we think can really benefit our shareholders over time as we find ways to monetize that. So I think, you know, I would just point you to that, happy to talk about it, you know, more in the future.

[Operator instructions] The next question comes from Andrew Nicholas of William Blair.
Andrew Nicholas -- William Blair -- Analyst
First question I had was just a follow-up to all the comments on M&A. Peter, I think, obviously, it seems like the pipeline's large and you have the capacity and the interest in doing deals. I'm just wondering, to the extent a slow-down does materialize over the second half of the year, I know your outlook contemplates some of that, how does that change the strategy there? Do you become more aggressive because there are targets with more openness to being acquired? Are you a little bit more hesitant to protect the balance sheet? Just any thoughts on kind of how that strategy would evolve in a less constructive macro backdrop?
Peter Walker -- Chief Financial Officer
Yes. So our perspective is if the economy does turn, and there's a, you know, stronger recession, and that would hit some of the smaller players, we really see that as an opportunity for us, because a lot of those players are currently looking to exit as it is now. It will probably cause more of them to want to exit and it will make prices softer. As you know, we have a very strong balance sheet.
We've got great discipline around evaluating targets and then integrating those targets. So I'd say that's upside for us.
Andrew Nicholas -- William Blair -- Analyst
Got it.
Peter Walker -- Chief Financial Officer
From an M&A.
Andrew Nicholas -- William Blair -- Analyst
That's helpful. Yes. And then, I think, in the Slide, you noted wanting to add identity to every background screen and create stand-alone identity-based offerings. Just on the first part, kind of adding identity to every background screen, obviously, that's an ambitious goal.
I'm just curious, you know, how do we get there? What verticals make the most sense to start with? I would imagine the thinner relationship would be a good starting point. But just kind of curious how you kind of see that evolving and materializing over the next couple of years, which verticals make the most sense, and where you would expect adoption to pick up first.
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Great. Thanks, Andrew. It's Josh. So I think, first of all, you know, it's obviously a bold aspiration, but it's one that we think makes sense for our industry.
And what we're seeing in early days, as I shared in the script, is good interest now from enterprise clients, a few that have started, a few that have signed contracts and haven't yet started and we expect to onboard later in the year, and a growing rich pipeline of interest. And it's something we're out there, you know, educating the market and teaching the market. And we happen to have, you know, currently two long-term unique, competitive advantages in terms of our relationships with FINRA and ID.me, and we think that there's others that we can go have as well and plan to go have from an alliance perspective. And so this is really just the selling motions of teaching clients, and having those proof points, which we're starting to see, which is why I shared two of those examples.
You know, what we're seeing outside the U.S. is a global gig. This is a big take up for them, really important. It's places where you tend to either not really see or employ someone directly in a physical location, so anywhere with remote work, which is obviously a growing trend, and anywhere that has high volume hiring, where they don't want to waste time waiting days for a background check to come back if the person is not actually who they said they were in the first place.
So we're seeing that kind of traction as well with, you know, warehouse retail you know, type work. So we actually think it's a very broad-based attractive offering. We're pleased to see the uplift of more than 10% on the package price when we do add identity. So that's a great proof point early in the game.
And we're also happy to see that, that comes at a higher margin as we've said, at the same time, when we're able to put that ID.me product in there. You know, with FINRA, that's a good example where we have some stand-alone offerings, where we may not be doing the background check, but are doing the biometric fingerprint validation in that case. We also have some examples of that with IDME, where we're just doing the identity verification without the background check with it. So we think, you know, on both fronts, those are just starting to gain traction.
We're very excited about it and we think that, you know, this is a good year to build that momentum. We built in a lot of the workflow tools and management tools we needed in the first quarter, which is great. And now we've got the clients coming on and those things tend to gain traction. And we'll probably hit an inflection point somewhere in the next, you know, call it 12 to 24 months, and we'll certainly update you as we got there.

The next question comes from Mark Marcon with Baird.
Mark Marcon -- Baird -- Analyst
Congratulations on the strong results. I'm wondering, with regards to the U.S., you mentioned gig and industrial were particularly strong in Q1. Was that due to new logos or an increase with regards to hiring within the existing base?
Peter Walker -- Chief Financial Officer
So Mark, nice to hear from you this morning. I mean, the U.S. had fantastic growth at 46% growth rate over 1Q '21. So I'd say, you know, overall, all the verticals perform very strongly and the new business wins.
We're consistent in terms of performance across those verticals.
Mark Marcon -- Baird -- Analyst
OK. Great. And then, in terms of the monthly trends that you ended up seeing during the quarter, were those relatively consistent on a year-over-year basis or was there any sort of fluctuations?
Peter Walker -- Chief Financial Officer
So, you know, we don't typically speak to monthly trends on the call. I would tell you that, you know, the seasonality for the business has shifted in terms of we no longer see that kind of peak in 3Q with a drop-off in 4Q. So as we look at the rest of the year, we should think about the fact that you're going to see, you know, the sequential revenue growth year over year, albeit against tougher comps. And you know, just a reminder, right, we've had seven consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth, and depending on the assumptions you make in the model, given the guidance that we provided, you know, you should expect that to continue.
Mark Marcon -- Baird -- Analyst
Great. And then can you talk a little bit about the margin differential between EBI and organic Sterling, just in terms and how quickly that'll normalize?
Peter Walker -- Chief Financial Officer
Yes. So we haven't given the specific difference in the margins. But for the quarter, you can think about the fact that EBI had -- Obviously, we were thrilled with the overperformance at 8% of inorganic revenue growth from EBI versus our prior guide to 5% to 5.5%. And because of the overperformance, it had a drag on our adjusted EBITDA margin of about 30 bit.
So the 24.8 would have been 25.1 had it not been for, you know, that higher revenue on EBI.
Mark Marcon -- Baird -- Analyst
OK. Great. And then ID.me it sounds like we're still early days, but it sounds like there is some enthusiasm among the companies that you just put it in with. How quickly can you educate your existing client base, that identity verification isn't included in the background check and what the benefits are?
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Mark now it sounds like you were listening in on my call with our Sales Team telling them all to get out there and educate. I think, you know, a lot of it is just buying cycles, right? Like, a lot of times it'll be in a renewal or when a client has a particular challenge. I think for us having a few, you know, anchor clients in the market now, where we can have some white papers and some proof points and some references for the value of the product, we think will really accelerate the trend. And it's part of the plan that we've had all along by piloting last summer, you know, fixing some things that we saw that we needed to get, you know, better so that the workflow is as seamless as it is.
When you're not using ID.me now, it's even better when you do use it. So I think that we're at the point now where that education is something we're going to be doing a lot of, and it's something that we're happy to do, because really no one has a competitive offering. So when we educate clients, there is nowhere else for them to go.
Mark Marcon -- Baird -- Analyst
That's great. And then one last one, with regards to the international markets, any sort of variances with regards to the growth there?
Peter Walker -- Chief Financial Officer
So as I mentioned on the call, Mark, in 1Q of '21, we had about $3.5 million of COVID revenue. We were actually hired by one of the large government agencies in the UK to be their trusted partner on background screening at high volume. So we kind of consider that definitely one-time revenue. So when we normalize for that, we look at the international organic currency growth rate, 1Q to 2Q.
You should think about that more of about 24% and that's very comparable to the growth we had 4Q of '21 over 4Q of '20. And then if you translate that to the overall growth rate, right, our headline is 38% but if you adjust it that one-time revenue 1Q of '21 of $3.5 million, you're 41% revenue growth for the quarter. And then long term, I guess this was a great partnership for us to demonstrate our capabilities, and the client has continued on with us albeit not with a large one-time request related to COVID.
Mark Marcon -- Baird -- Analyst
Understood, Peter. I meant just between the countries, you know, obviously given there's, you know, varying, you know, impacts in terms of what's occurring economically and energy price-wise. If you're seeing any sort of changes between the different countries internationally in terms of their growth rates.
Peter Walker -- Chief Financial Officer
Yes, good question. So we have not been impacted by the war between Russia and Ukraine. And I would say that all three of our regions and the countries in those regions continue to perform very strongly.
Operator
The next question is from Jason Celino.
Unknown speaker
Great. This is actually Devin on for Jason this morning. I guess I'll start my first one, I guess, broader question. There's been some news recently, I guess, on companies implementing cost control measures and are laying off employees but mostly within the tech sector.
And I know that Sterling has large exposure in industries that are more regulated now more insulated to these cost control measures, but just curious if you're seeing any of these trend of cost control measures within your verticals that you said or maybe within your customer base.
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Devin. It's Josh. Thanks for the question. So first I do want to emphasize two things before kind of diving into your particular question on tech.
You know, we're very well diversified. We are not concentrated in any one industry which we think is one of our competitive strengths. We also have our top client is less than 3% of our revenue so we're just not exposed to any individual client or industry, you know, overall. And you mentioned, you know, tech is around 7% of our U.S.
business in terms of verticals. So it's not a huge percentage and we're not seeing those trends affect our clients' hiring plans. I would also note that layoffs don't necessarily, you know, impact our business, it's hiring that impacts our business. So to the extent that they're continuing to hire for new roles, entry level jobs, things that they need, you know, for the future.
So in [Inaudible], you know, they may pull back on their hiring of people who are on W-2s, you know, as employees but we're not seeing them pull back on onboarding deliverers or drivers or caretakers. You know, that is the lifeblood of their business and they need to continue doing that and we're not seeing that trend really change at all. You know, we don't feel like we're, you know, overexposed there and we're not seeing any of our clients really come to us and tell us that they've made changes to their hiring plans yet. But as we said, our guidance does, you know, take into account that given the macro trends, there could be some pressure.
And so you know, I think as Peter said, you know, if that does not materialize for us, that would be upside to what we've provided.
Unknown speaker
Got it. Oh, no. That's great [Inaudible]. Maybe just one more for me.
I mean, it seems like the background screening space is doing better or holding in relatively better than other sectors. Are you also seeing improvement in sales cycle, close rates and even win rates on the quarter?
Josh Peirez -- Chief Executive Officer
You know, we don't report those really on a quarterly basis, but otherwise, what we have said is, you know, we did have 10% new business and greater new business dollars in Q1 than what we had in Q4. So that continues to accelerate and be a good trend for us. You know, we're continuing to see many RFPs and opportunities for us to win business, including with very large clients out there who haven't RFP-ed for a very long time. So, you know, we're excited about that.
The other thing we're seeing is that, you know, the normal cyclicality that we saw historically in hiring trends by clients, they're really hiring throughout the year now versus just in peak seasons as well as our mix, you know, shifting intentionally as we've, you know, expanded into newer verticals, which has normalized that trend as well. So, you know, we feel very good about where we are. You know, we are watching the macro-environment very carefully. I think, you know, the one thing we saw, which Peter mentioned is the need to onboard people to support the revenue growth that we know is there for us, because we've signed those contracts.
We felt that we needed to hire people earlier than we historically would have because it is so challenging to bring people on board. And so that has really been the one area so far that we've reacted to. And then of course the interest expense going up which caused us to just sort of, you know, narrow our range on the A&I guidance.

Barnaby Joyce says ‘selfish’ independents must name who they support
Barnaby Joyce has refused to make public the coalition deal between the Nationals and the Liberal Party while labelling independent candidates selfish and “fundamentally dishonest” for not naming who they would back to form government.
The deputy prime minister used an address to the National Press Club to warn a government that relied on independent candidates to hold power would not be “a tenable form of government”.
A clutch of high-profile independent candidates are challenging moderate Liberals in inner-city seats, campaigning in part on the need for greater climate action and linking the Nationals to the government’s lagging record. The Nationals-held seat of Nicholls also has a strong independent candidate, Rob Priestly, while regional seats Kennedy and Indi have been in crossbench hands for several terms.
Joyce said these independents were “selfish” because they relied on voters in most seats sticking with political parties who could form government and get on with day-to-day political process.
“It’s also fundamentally dishonest. Because they never disclose which side they would support if a vote came down to them,” Joyce said.
“The thought that they don’t actually know at this stage of a campaign, which political side would get their casting vote in a hung parliament is totally implausible.”
But when asked whether he show the same transparency he’s demanding of independent candidates and would allow the coalition agreement between the Liberals and Nationals to be made public, Joyce said point blank: “No.”
“In my discussions to get the best deal for regional Australia, I don’t want to have to ventilate every iteration, every nuance day by day in the media,” he said, before going on to describe the agreement document as “rather unremarkable”.
And when pushed on whether he would seek a veto right over any negotiations between Prime Minister Scott Morrison and crossbenchers in the event of a hung parliament, Joyce said that was only hypothetical – although he didn’t expect to be party to any such negotiations.
“I think you open a can of worms when you go down that process,” he said.
Joyce described his partnership with Scott Morrison as a “business relationship” and said the prime minister had honoured every deal they had made.
One of the other issues many of the inner-city independents are campaigning on is the treatment of women in politics and society more broadly.
Asked why women should vote for the Coalition given its lack of female representation and a well-publicised slew of allegations against male MPs, Joyce agreed there was always more work to do but touted the Nationals’ record.
“If we had a quota system in the Senate we would need more blokes because it’s 80 per cent women.”
In the lower house in the last parliament, the Nationals had two women and 14 men.

Penn State continues its road to redemption with a return trip to Jordan-Hare to face the Auburn Tigers in week 3. The Nittany Lions won a close one in 2021, a 28-20 thriller under the Whiteout that was as good as advertised. Now, the Lions look to take the series and the momentum.
2021 Recap
Auburn started the season well enough, going 6-2 through their first eight games. Their biggest problem, of course, was finishing 0-4 to end the season, which led to their less than stellar 6-6 year. They capped it off by losing a close one to Houston in the Birmingham bowl.
Interestingly enough, the season was the boring part of the Tigers last year. Once the season ended, Auburn lost several coaches, its quarterback, and a bid to buy out head coach Bryan Harsin, put on by the Auburn boosters who were not exactly satisfied with the coach’s performance (and the aforementioned coaching issues, among others).
Regardless, Harsin survived the coup bid, and is back to coach a seemingly galvanized Tigers team in 2022.
Offensive Player To Watch: Tank Bigsby
Bo Nix is off to Oregon, so this magnificent quote now belongs to the Ducks:
This is the year. Bo Nix has improved so much under this new offense. He’s focused. He’s having fun. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a dark horse for the Heisman.
Someone who isn’t gone, however, is Tank Bigsby and his thousand-yard rushing season from last year. With uncertainty at quarterback, especially early in the season, expect Auburn to rely on its workhorse of a running back to give Penn State fits. Bigsby ran for 102 yards on 23 carries last season, and had two touchdowns on the night. The Nittany Lions may have their hands just as full this time around.
Defensive Player To Watch: Edge Derick Hall
There’s no shortage of talent on the Auburn defense, and picking a single player from this list was a lot less obvious than it was on the offensive side. Already projected as a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft, Hall recorded 52 tackles last season, and had 9.0 sacks to go along with it.
In the game against Penn State last season, Hall recorded 5 tackles, four of which were solo, and a tackle for loss. He made his presence felt then, and can certainly make his presence felt again next season.
Auburn Wins If...
They force Penn State to be one-dimensional. Yes, they mostly did that last season, but the Nittany Lions were able to overcome it. However, Auburn will be at home this time around, and we shouldn’t expect Sean Clifford to go 28 of 32 through the air two years in a row.
If Auburn can shut down the run game once more, ghosts of issues past, combined with a road environment, may be just enough to expose Penn State’s deficiencies early and often.
Penn State Wins If...
The offensive line comes to play. Yes, you could say that for every game this season, but it is of utmost importance that the line play well, especially to avoid the point above. Penn State will need to keep Auburn honest if it wants to win this game, and the only way they’ll be able to do that is if they can manage to open holes for the stable of running backs while also keeping Clifford upright.
Alternatively, the Lions can make it a long night for whoever is commandeering the Tiger offense, forcing them to be one-dimensional and putting all their chips in the Tank Bigsby hand. | https://www.blackshoediaries.com/2022/5/10/23063571/2022-penn-state-football-opponent-snapshot-auburn-tigers-nittany-lions-james-franklin-bryan-harsin | 2022-05-11T08:43:01Z | https://www.blackshoediaries.com/2022/5/10/23063571/2022-penn-state-football-opponent-snapshot-auburn-tigers-nittany-lions-james-franklin-bryan-harsin | true | 1 |

- Envisics, based in the UK, is a global leader in dynamic holographic technology
- AR HUD installation projected to expand exponentially by 2030
- Company set to grow global workforce by over 50% by end of 2023
MILTON KEYNES, United Kingdom, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Envisics, the global leader in dynamic holographic technology today announced new plans for global expansion including an increase in its global workforce by over 50% by the end of 2023. Augmented Reality Heads-Up Display (AR HUD) is an advanced display technology that is fast becoming a must-have feature for auto makers and consumers alike. AR HUD systems enable useful information related to vehicle performance and the road ahead to be projected to the driver through dynamic holography.
Commenting on the growth of the company, Envisics founder and CEO, Dr. Jamieson Christmas said, "We are extremely encouraged by the growing interest in AR HUD from the automakers in parallel with our own technological advances. Although many view holographic technology as something they remember from STAR WARS® movies, we are on the threshold of widespread deployment across the industry."
The AR HUD market is entering a growth phase fueled by the introduction of new technologies, including ENVISICS products and services from Envisics. Based on global market research, the HUD market is expected to grow by at least 12% on average every year by 2025, and AR HUD, is expected to grow exponentially from one million units in 2025 to 12 million in 2030. Based on date from a recent AA Motoring Survey*, over half of drivers interviewed agreed that a HUD would 'be a good way to warn drivers of potential danger near them e.g., pedestrian crossing the road ahead.
Headquartered in Milton Keynes, Envisics today has over 85 employees with a combined 700 years of engineering experience and over a combined 200 years of specific experience in HUD development. The bulk of the workforce growth will be in research and development functions based in the UK, US and at a forthcoming office in Europe.

"In this time of heightened awareness and the prioritization of inclusion, the trend has seemed to be headed in the right direction, but it's still performative. With the opportunity that Burrell represents, we're starting at a point that Burrell has already created the momentum for."

An interminable and unwinnable war in Europe? That’s what NATO leaders fear and are bracing for as Russia’s war in Ukraine grinds into its third month with little sign of a decisive military victory for either side and no resolution in sight.
The possibility of a stalemate is fueling concerns that Ukraine may remain a deadly European battlefield and a source of continental and global instability for months, or even years, to come.
Energy and food security are the most immediate worries, but massive Western support for Ukraine while the world is still emerging from coronavirus pandemic and struggling to deal with the effects of climate change could deepen the toll on the global economy. And should Russia choose to escalate, the risk of a broader conflict rises.
The U.S. and its allies are pumping a steady stream of lethal weaponry into Ukraine to keep it in the fight. While most analysts say Kyiv is holding its own at the least, those infusions must continue if they are to support President Volodomyr Zelenskyy's vow to win, or at least continue to match or beat back, Moscow’s advances.
Just as Russian President Vladimir Putin has not signaled a willingness to intensify the invasion with either a general mobilization of troops or the use of unconventional arms, neither has he shown any sign of backing down. Nor has Zelenskyy, who is now asserting that Ukraine will not only beat back the current Russian invasion but regain control of Crimea and other areas that Russia has occupied or otherwise controlled since 2014.
“It’s very difficult to see how you could get a negotiated solution at this point,” said Ian Kelly, a retired veteran diplomat who served as U.S. ambassador to Georgia, another former Soviet republic on which Russia has territorial designs.
“There’s no way that Ukraine is going to step back,” Kelly said. “They think they’re gonna win.”
More Russia-Ukraine War Coverage
At the same time, Kelly said that no matter how many miscalculations Putin has made about the strength and will of Ukraine to resist or the unity and resolve of the NATO allies, Putin cannot accept defeat or anything short of a scenario that he can claim has achieved success.
“It would be political suicide for Putin to withdraw,” Kelly said. “It’s very difficult to see how you could get a negotiated solution at this point. Neither side is willing to stop fighting and probably the likeliest outcome is a war that lasts a couple of years. Ukraine would be a festering sore in the middle of Europe.”
U.S. officials, starting with President Joe Biden, seem to agree, even after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin raised eyebrows by saying after a visit to Kyiv last month that Washington’s goal is not only to help Ukraine defend itself but to “weaken” Russia to the point where it does not pose a threat.
Putin “doesn’t have a way out right now, and I’m trying to figure out what we do about that,” Biden said on Monday even after he signed legislation designed to reboot the World War II-era “lend-lease” program and appealed to Congress to approve a $40 billion package of military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
So what to do? French President Emmanuel Macron has placed a premium on a negotiated settlement that saves face for both Russia and Ukraine.
“We will have a peace to build tomorrow, let us never forget that,” Macron said on Monday. “We will have to do this with Ukraine and Russia around the table. The end of the discussion and the negotiation will be set by Ukraine and Russia. But it will not be done in denial, nor in exclusion of each other, nor even in humiliation.”
U.S. officials aren't so sure, although they allow that the endgame is up to Ukraine.
“Our strategy is to see to it that Ukraine emerges from this victorious,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said this week. “Ukraine will do so at the negotiating table. Our goal is to strengthen Ukraine’s position at that negotiating table as we continue to place mounting costs on the Russian Federation.”
But, the high-stakes uncertainty over what constitutes a “victorious" Ukraine has alarmed officials in some European capitals, notably those in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which are NATO members bordering Russia and especially worried about Moscow's possible future intentions.
For Baltic nations and other countries on NATO's eastern flank, the threat is real and memories of Soviet occupation and rule remain fresh. Concessions to Russia in Ukraine will only embolden Putin to push further west, they say.
“To be honest, we are still not talking about the endgame,” Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis lamented to The Associated Press in an interview on Monday. He said any territorial concessions in Ukraine would usher in a world where the “rules-based order” has been replaced by a “jungle rules-based order.”
Landsbergis suggested that Western nations issue public statements about what success would be. “Where we would consider what we would take for victory, actual victory? What would be the scenario that we would like?”
Landsbergis has been outspoken in calls for Putin to be ousted as Russia’s leader, going well beyond the U.S. position and that of other NATO leaders. He says regime change in Moscow is the only way to protect European and Western security in the long term.
“Coming from me it’s much easier to say we need regime change in Russia, so we’ve been quite blunt and open about it,” he said. “Maybe for United States it’s much more difficult to be open about it, but still, at some point, we have to talk about this because it’s so important.”

Mumbai: From most international runs to highest centuries in the game, Sachin Tendulkar is arguably the best batter to have graced the game. While he is regarded as nothing less than a demi-god in India, he happens to be a global inspiration for youngsters wanting to become batters. But, Tendulkar has a good knowledge about bowling as well that is probably because he can read the batter’s mind.Also Read - Virat Kohli Laughs Off First-Ball Ducks In IPL 2022, Says Have Seen Everything Now | Watch VIDEO

New sources reported on Wednesday that the positions of terrorist groups in Erbil came under artillery attacks by Ground forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
No details have been released so far over the possible casualties of this operation.
The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have repeatedly warned that they will never tolerate the presence and activity of terrorist groups along the country's northwestern borders and they will give a strong and decisive response to any slightest mischievous moves.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) has announced a new goal to reduce plastic packaging by 25% per product by 2030. This new goal is featured in the company’s 2021 Citizenship Report published today, which provides a progress update on Mattel’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy and established goals.
“At Mattel, our aim is to contribute to a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable future” Tweet this
Mattel’s ESG strategy and goals are organized into three pillars: Sustainable Design and Development; Responsible Sourcing and Production; and Thriving and Inclusive Communities, representing the ESG areas where the company believes it can have the greatest impact.
“At Mattel, our aim is to contribute to a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable future,” said Ynon Kreiz, Chairman and CEO, Mattel. “The progress across our ESG strategy and goals, and our new goal announced today, reflects our ongoing commitment to corporate citizenship and our purpose to empower the next generation to explore the wonder of childhood and reach their full potential. I would like to thank all the teams across Mattel and our external stakeholders for their partnership on this important journey.”
With its new packaging goal, Mattel is focused on reducing plastic materials from product packaging, including polybags, window sheets, and blister packs as part of its packaging strategy and reduction approach.
Progress highlights across the three ESG pillars and previously published goals are as follows:
Sustainable Design and Development
Mattel aims to develop innovative products and experiences that are better for the world by integrating sustainable materials with principles of product stewardship and circular design. In this pillar the company has:
- Exceeded its goal to maintain 95% recycled or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified content in the paper and wood fiber used in its products and packaging, reaching 97.9% in 2021 as validated by the Rainforest Alliance.
- Recognized by the FSC with a 2021 Leadership Award for excellence in the use of FSC-certified products and commitment to responsible forest management.
- Increased the amount of recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) in most window cartons and blister packs from 25% in 2020 to 30% in 2021.
- Launched Mattel PlayBack, a toy takeback program in the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, and the UK, designed to recover and reuse valuable materials from old Mattel toys.
- Progressed its goal to achieve 100% recycled, recyclable, or bio-based plastic materials in products and packaging by 2030 with several new products made from more sustainable materials and other initiatives including:
- Barbie Loves the Ocean, its first fashion doll line made from recycled ocean-bound plastic2.
- Matchbox Tesla Roadster, its first die-cast vehicle made from 99% recycled materials and certified as a CarbonNeutral® product.3
- UNO Nothin’ But Paper! eliminated the cellophane wrapping from all UNO card games, replacing it with FSC-certified paper.
- Mega Bloks Green Town, a new line of certified CarbonNeutral® products3 in which the blocks and pieces are made from a mix of plant-based materials (plastic made from ethanol extracted from sugar cane) and ISCC-certified bio-circular plastics (using a mass balance approach).
Responsible Sourcing and Production
Mattel aims to optimize resource use in operations to reduce environmental effects and promote ethical sourcing practices and worker health and safety throughout the supply chain. In this pillar the company has:
- Accelerated progress toward Mattel’s goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions by 50% by 20304 reporting an 8% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions versus the 2019 baseline year. The Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions data disclosed in the 2021 Citizenship Report has been verified by an independent third-party verification body, SCS Global Services.
- Advanced toward its goal to achieve zero manufacturing waste by 2030.5 The company conducted two on-site waste characterization audits at its manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Mexico, and its distribution center in San Bernardino, California, which informed the creation of a new Mattel Waste Management Standard.
- Achieved a 79% waste diversion rate in 2021.6
- Established the Mattel Responsible Sourcing Working Group, a cross-functional team of internal experts to support Responsible Sourcing and Production, and to promote ethical sourcing practices and worker health and safety throughout Mattel’s supply chain, in 2021.
Thriving and Inclusive Communities
Mattel aims to make a positive social impact through purposeful play and by supporting diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities where we live, work, and play. In this pillar the company has:
- Progressed toward its global Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion goals of increasing representation of women and ethnically diverse talent, and achieved 100% base pay equity by gender globally and by ethnicity in the U.S.7
- Received the following notable recognitions for its workplace culture: Forbes World’s Best Employers of 2021; Forbes Best Employers for Women 2021; Fast Company Best Workplaces for Innovators 2021; Great Place to Work® Certified 2021; Newsweek Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces for 2021; Human Rights Campaign Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality 2021; and 2021 Time Most Influential Companies.
“We are proud of the progress we have made in the past year toward our ESG goals and recognize that there is much more to be accomplished. Our new plastic packaging goal responds to increasing global attention on single-use plastic packaging waste, and addresses changing consumer preferences,” said Pamela Gill-Alabaster, SVP, Global Head of Sustainability and Social Impact, Mattel. “Our teams strive to continue to innovate with principles of circular design and product stewardship to develop products and packaging that are better for our planet.”

1 Versus 2020 Baseline. Changes are calculated based on the plastic packaging materials intensity ratio, which is obtained by dividing the total volume of plastic packaging materials used (in metric tons) by the total number of units produced in the applicable period, and where the total number of units produced is the number of production units shipped by Mattel, through its owned and/or operated manufacturing facilities and finished goods manufacturers.
2 Plastic parts made from 90% plastic sourced within 50 km of waterways in areas lacking formal waste collection systems; doll head, shoes, tablet, and beach lantern accessory excluded.
3 CarbonNeutral® is a certification issued by Natural Capital Partners, the leading experts on carbon neutrality and climate finance, which indicates a current state achieved when the net GHG emissions associated with an entity, product, or activity is zero for a defined duration.
4 Versus 2019 baseline. Absolute Scope 1 + 2 GHG Emissions defined as total Scope 1 GHG emissions from on-site fossil fuel consumption and fleet fuel consumption, and total Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heat, or cooling; applies to all Mattel-owned and/or -operated sites, including manufacturing facilities, dormitories, distribution centers, warehouses, retail stores, and corporate locations over 20,000 square feet.
5 Defined as 90% of manufacturing waste being either diverted from the landfill or incinerated with energy recovery, except where otherwise directed by local regulations.
6 For the purposes of this calculation, “waste diverted” is categorized as waste that is reused, recycled, or waste incinerated with energy recovery.

SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's plans to offer economic aid in return for denuclearisation could face an early challenge amid signs of an imminent North Korean nuclear test - and such proposals have been rebuffed before, analysts say.
Yoon has warned of a "tense" security environment, citing the possible nuclear test, which U.S. and South Korean officials have said could occur as early as this month after Pyongyang broke a 2017 moratorium on long-range missile testing in March.
Analysts say such a test, the North's first in five years, would be a reality check for Yoon's plans to incentivise denuclearisation with "audacious" economic benefits, unveiled in his inauguration speech on Tuesday.
Yoon and his team have given few details on how they would bring back Pyongyang to the negotiating table. But some analysts said North Korea is unlikely to accept any aid-for-denuclearisation deal, as its nuclear and missile programmes are mature and still advancing.
"It was a somewhat conciliatory message, but North Korea would never accept this line of reasoning that the South would help develop its own economy if it denuclearises," said Park Won-gon, a North Korea expert at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. "To them, that formula means to deny their regime."
Pyongyang has said several times in the past decade that it would not abandon its nuclear programmes in exchange for economic rewards, Park added.
Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, noted a similar offer by former conservative President Lee Myung-bak.
Lee, under his "Vision 3000" initiative, had promised economic assistance to help the North achieve a $3,000 per capita income within 10 years if it abandoned its nuclear and missile programmes and opened up to the outside world.
Pyongyang called it a plot to overthrow its regime, and inter-Korean ties remained icy throughout Lee's five years. Many of Yoon's senior aides, including his national security adviser and his deputy, served in the Lee administration.
"The new government's offer could induce backlash from the North," Yang said. "He does leave open the door for dialogue but did not actually propose talks, and the idea would have slim chances of succeeding as it's passive and unrealistic."
Yoon on Wednesday nominated Kim Kyou-hyun, a former veteran diplomat with expertise in North Korea and U.S. relations, to be director of the National Intelligence Service, overseeing oversee inter-Korean affairs and denuclearisation talks.
Yoon's new defence minister, Lee Jong-sup, held his first meeting online with key commanding officers after taking office on Tuesday, calling for airtight readiness posture against "omnidirectional security threats."
"The security situation on the Korean peninsula is extremely grave due to North Korea's advancing missile threats and possibility of a nuclear test," he told the meeting.
Lee ordered the military to respond "sternly and immediately" if the North presses ahead with a "direct provocation," the ministry said in a statement.

In 2014, Branson announced that Virgin Group was forming Virgin Cruises, together with the backing of Bain Capital and revealed plans to build two new cruise ships. In June 2015, Virgin Cruises announced that it signed a letter of intent with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for three cruise ships that could each accommodate approximately 2,800 guests and 1,150 crew for seven-day Caribbean voyages.
The three-ship order reportedly cost US$2.55 billion, with the second ship (Valiant Lady) operating this year., The order's contract for the ships was formally signed on 18 October 2016, the same day Virgin Cruises rebranded as Virgin Voyages.
In joining her sister ship, initial details revealed she would measure 110,000 tons, 278 metres (912 ft) long, and 38 metres (125 ft) wide, with 1,400 passenger cabins to house up to approximately 2,700 passengers, accompanied by 1,150 crew members. | https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/news/local/2022/05/11/101021/branson-cruise-ship-enters-virgen-territory-mallorca.html | 2022-05-11T09:09:05Z | https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/news/local/2022/05/11/101021/branson-cruise-ship-enters-virgen-territory-mallorca.html | true | 1 |

GRAPHIC-The dollar problem: emerging markets count the costs
By Karin Strohecker and Sujata Rao
LONDON, May 11 (Reuters) - Barely recovered from a two-year bout of COVID, emerging markets now face capital flight, inflation, and even debt defaults as the dollar's run to two-decade highs tightens the screws.
Almost all past emerging market crises were linked to dollar strength. As the dollar rises, developing countries must tighten monetary policy to head off falls in their own currencies. Not doing so would exacerbate inflation and raise the cost of servicing dollar-denominated debt.
For all the improvements of recent decades, those equations still broadly hold and the recent dollar rally is leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
Soaring commodity prices are another complication, alongside the tumble in China's yuan - an anchor for Asian and commodity currencies.
"The cracks are widening. When a strong dollar intersects with high commodity prices, it's not strange that we get problems in emerging markets," said Manik Narain, head of emerging markets strategy at UBS.
"And when the yuan weakens there are no winners in EM."
CURRENCY CONUNDRUM
Dollar appreciation has pushed an emerging currency index down 3.5% this year to an 18-month trough, though that masks bigger 9%-15% losses on currencies such as Poland's zloty and Turkey's lira. Losses also picked up in April, coinciding with the yuan downturn.
Flexible exchange rates do shield developing economies against a repeat of crises of the 1990s.
Back then, a surge in the U.S. currency and Treasury yields first sparked Mexico's 'Tequila' crisis in 1994, subsequently sending shockwaves across Asia, Russia and Brazil as dollar pegs collapsed one-by-one.
But a stronger dollar still means higher imported inflation, especially given 30%-40% increases in food and oil prices. Currency declines also probably helped precipitate the recent heavy investment outflows from emerging markets.
As recession worries spread around world markets, the shine is coming off this year's bright spot - commodity-exporting Latin America. The copper-reliant Chile's peso gained 8% in the first quarter, only to fall 10% since then.
GROWING PAINS
Central banks across the developing world have jacked up interest rates by hundreds of basis points cumulatively to tame inflation and ensure a sufficient inflation-adjusted bond premium to rising U.S. yields.
As a result, emerging economies may expand just 4.6% this year, the World Bank forecasts, compared with an earlier 6.3% prediction.
Dollar strength can also dampen growth as it tightens financial conditions -- a gauge of how easy it is to obtain credit. An emerging markets financial conditions index from Goldman Sachs is near the tightest since 2008, up some 300 bps this year.
DEBT DEMISE
Rising Treasury yields spell higher cost of capital globally, but are especially painful for countries which gorged on dollar borrowing.
On JPMorgan's emerging sovereign dollar bond index EMBIGD yields have risen above 7%.
Higher debt costs, alongside economic mismanagement and political unrest, have combined to propel Sri Lanka into full-blown crisis, and the same scenario could be repeated elsewhere, investors fear.
Higher borrowing rates are also discouraging many emerging markets governments and companies from tapping international bond markets. April, usually a busy month for new bond issuance, this year saw its issuance since 2015, with sales of just $6.9 billion.
Trang Nguyen, emerging markets strategist at JPMorgan predicted bond sales to pick up, though, "even if this has to come at a higher cost, as countries will eventually need to plug their financing gaps".
INFLATION STATIONS
Dollar strength and domestic currency weakness translates into higher import bills, and therefore accelerating inflation.
While emerging markets started their tightening cycles well before developed peers, inflation has consistently exceeded expectations.
Rates are eye-watering: annual inflation in Argentina runs above 50%, in Turkey at 70%. Even wealthier emerging economies such as Hungary are seeing double-digit inflation.
The International Monetary Fund expects inflation to average 8.7% in emerging markets this year - some 2.8 percentage points higher than projected in January.
Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt, Ghana and Kenya are among countries seen at risk, due to their hard-currency debt burdens, current account deficits and heavy reliance on food and energy imports.
"Commodity prices are a key axis of vulnerability and if we see renewed upside to oil and food, we may see a growing list (of casualties)," said UBS' Narain.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The federal Job Corps program says it has launched a recruitment drive promoting free career training and immediate openings at its two Tennessee campuses for low-income people ages 16 through 24.
Job Corps, operated by the U.S. Department of Labor, offers career skills training, housing, meals, health care and job search assistance at its Dr. Benjamin L. Hooks campus in Memphis and its Jacobs Creek facility in Bristol, officials said a news release.
Job Corps is free for people from low-income households who meet eligibility requirements and are ages 16 through 24. The program provides training in advanced manufacturing, automotive and machine repair, construction, finance and business, health care, information technology and transportation, officials said.

It's easy to tell the delivery room from the rest of the main maternity hospital in Ukraine’s western city of Lviv, even from the outside. Its exterior wall is piled high with sandbags.
In the dim basement, where heavily pregnant women must bend low to avoid the water pipes, there is a delivery table in case the baby comes amid the air raid sirens.
Stress is part of childbirth, but it’s not meant to be like this.
At least 49 attacks have targeted medical facilities in Ukraine since the Feb. 24 Russian invasion, including a maternity hospital bombed in March in Mariupol, where Associated Press images of a wounded pregnant woman being rushed from the rubble on a stretcher were seen around the world, personifying the horror of the attack on civilians. The woman and her baby later died.
About 200 pregnant women displaced by Russia's invasion have come to the hospital in Lviv since the war began. More than 100 have given birth, said Maria Malachynska, director of the Lviv state regional perinatal center. They come from some of the communities the world now knows by name: Mariupol, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Kyiv.
“This stress which women have, in times of war, it influences a lot and we see a lot of complications,” Malachynska said.
U.S. & World
Lilia Myronovich, who heads the natal department at another hospital, Lviv municipal maternity, said she also has seen more premature births than normal. “The women are stressed,” she said. “Especially ladies who come from other districts.”
One woman from Mariupol at the Lviv state perinatal center cries all the time, traumatized after making it out of the besieged city. “They were starving,” Malachynska said. “We are even helping them with clothes, with prams, because they don’t have anything to give to their children.”
Outside the director’s window, a new shelter was being dug. It will be large enough to hold the incubators needed for babies born prematurely.
Upstairs, expectant mother Kateryna Galmalova fled Mykolaiv, a city now occupied by Russian forces, with her husband as tanks were approaching and after three nights sleeping in the hallway amid explosions.
“I had high blood pressure the first few days from this news" of the war, she said. “Because you don’t understand what to do next, where to go, where and how to give birth.”
She fled Mykolaiv with just her documents, spare underwear and the clothes she wore. She was overwhelmed by the kindness she found in Lviv, where she has no family, she said, and which quickly became a haven for hundreds of thousands of people displaced from more threatened parts of Ukraine.
Suddenly a siren sounded, sending patients and staff to the basement until the alert was lifted half an hour later.
“I do not want children to be born in war,” Galmalova said as she waited underground, scrolling through social media on her phone, where she learned of a woman forced to give birth in a bunker. “And I don’t want to give birth in a basement or a bunker. I do not want any child to be born in such a place.”
Another expectant mother, Yana Tananakina, fled from the capital, Kyiv, and wants to return. “Life goes on,” said her husband, Oleksander. “Every war ends. And this one will end, too.” He was so pleasantly surprised by the Lviv maternity hospital that the couple is now considering having their next child there, too.
In a bright and quiet room, Natalya Suhotsha beamed at her newborn twins, Zlata and Sophia. She fled Hostomel, on the outskirts of Kyiv, in the early days of the war when the Russians began to bombard a nearby airport. Her husband gave her five minutes to gather things and go.
She grabbed the baby clothes and little else before escaping to Lviv, where she was born and where her family has a home.
Now, looking at her baby girls makes her forget about the war. She wishes the same happy distraction for every woman.
"We just talk about pretty babies,” the 24-year-old said of her conversations with other displaced new mothers at the hospital. “We don’t talk about the war. Every time you talk about the war, you stress.”
Her mother, a nurse, had promised to be there for the twins' birth. But she remained in Hostomel as the others fled. Natalya said she hopes to return to her mother soon. Her work in real estate is also waiting.
“My work was about the future,” she said. “It was for new families. And it’s all crushed.”
Now it's time to rebuild, she said.

A strong kind and caring leader - that is how devout mōrehu and MP Rino Tirikatene describes Harerangi Meihana.
“I remember him in his church committee role, as a young child sitting through many hui whakapūmau,” he said.
Meihana, the grandson of church founder Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana. was a union man and strong Labour supporter.
Maori Development Minister Willie Jackson says he was an understated leader who was admired by his people
“He was a loving man, who focused on whānau and focused on his faith. The legacy that he leaves behind is his steadfast approach to the kaupapa that was left by his grandfather.”
“He always maintained his strength and love for God and the teachings of the māramatanga of his grandfather,” he said.
Morehu saddened
Rino is a part of the Tirikatene dynast, which has held the Southern Māori seat in Parliament since 1935, a legacy through the Rātana faith that he says will carry on.
“My poua, Sir Eruera Tirikātene, was the first independent Rātana MP for Southern Māori and that led to the alliance with Michael Joseph Savage in 1935 with the first Labour government. Those connections remain strong today.”
The history between Labour and Te Hāhi Rātana goes deep - a relationship that the Māori caucus celebrates and strengthens.
Minister Kiritapu Allan is a follower of the faith and, with many other mōrehu, sees today as a sad day.
“There are four of us who are morehu. We were raised as morehu, so this has a huge impact for us a caucus but acknowledging a role that Hare has played as the tumuaki for our hāhi.”
His tūpāpāku will return to Rātana Pā this evening. No reira e kara, e Harerangi, moe mai rā. | https://www.teaomaori.news/ratana-church-president-harerangi-meihana-mourned | 2022-05-11T09:24:27Z | https://www.teaomaori.news/ratana-church-president-harerangi-meihana-mourned | true | 1 |

As for who will coach LeBron next season after Frank Vogel was just fired … Magic told us it certainly won’t be him, and probably not Phil Jackson either. But, the Hall of Famer did say Jackson will help in the hunt for the next head man … something he appears to believe will be good for the org.’s future. -via TMZ.com / May 7, 2022
When the decision was made to fire Vogel, sources say his handling of Westbrook and the inability to find a way to make him a more productive part of the program were among the factors that played a big part. There was a strong sense that it was on Vogel to make the Westbrook experiment work, and the fact that it didn’t lead to questions about whether Westbrook had been put in a position to succeed. That sure smells like the hope of a Russ revival to me. And how’s this for a tidbit to tie this thread up: Jackson is known to have been a fan of Westbrook’s throughout his career. Sources say Phil Jackson has no interest in taking on this coaching job (or any other) himself — let’s just stop that rumor right here — but his view of Westbrook is relevant. As we’ve established, Jackson’s voice matters again. -via The Athletic / May 5, 2022

Ukraine launched a counteroffensive in the Kharkov and Izium region last Saturday in an attempt to force the Russian Army to stop the advance towards Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, the main strongholds of the Ukrainian Army in the Donetsk region, where it seeks to ensure control of Donbas.
(Read: Europe accused Russia of a cyber attack hours before the invasion of Ukraine)
“The Ukrainian counteroffensive along a wide arc to the north and east of the city of Kharkiv has gained ground“, found the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), in an analysis dated this Friday.
(You are interested in: War in Ukraine already leaves at least eight million internally displaced persons)
The Ukrainian willingness to concentrate what is necessary for this escalation of offensive operations, instead of deploying defenses, shows confidence in its ability to repel the operation
This would allow according to analysts, repel Russian forces to a safe distance from Kharkov, the second largest city in Ukraine, from enemy artillery.
The Ukrainian Army intensified its actions in the arc between the cities of Kharkov and Izium, where, according to the General Staff, “the enemy continues to shell artillery positions” near Kharkov, while Russian troops carry out aerial exploration missions by means of drones in Izium.
Despite this, according to the ISW, “the Ukrainian counteroffensive to the north and east of the city of Kharkov has made progress in the last 24 hours,” which could allow it to expel Russian artillery in that area.
It was an operation aimed at “securing key terrain and disrupting Russian offensive operations” in this region.
The Ukrainian military denounced that the Russian forces blew up three bridges in the towns of Tsyrkuny and Rusky Tyshky, northeast of Kharkov, with the aim of stopping the counteroffensive.
Can Ukraine respond to the attacks?
The attempt to repel and remove Russian troops on Ukrainian soil, although it has been frustrated, has caused a delay in the operations of Putin’s army in Ukraine, to the point of not having been able to take kyiv, a city that was thought to be one of the the objectives.
In this sense, although there are not enough weapons to be able to expel the Russians, Ukraine has shown that with the weapons that the West has given it, it can contain most of the attacks.
Although the figures of the war will not be clear for a few years, it is estimated that Russia would have lost more than 3,000 soldiers, according to Ukrainian figures, but in addition, it would also be in conditions of sensitive artillery, losing hundreds of military artifacts, among them missiles, missile launchers and tanks.
Finally, for the experts it is unlikely that Ukraine will be able to carry out a counteroffensive in conditions, since the limitation in military personnel and weapons could limit the possibilities.
Even so, as has been seen to date, the Ukrainian army would be in sporadic conditions to launch some offensives in Russia as it is presumed, it has done at the end of March, April and the beginning of May.
In Russia, explosions were reported weeks ago at refineries, military installations and intelligence centers, which although they have not been recognized as attacks by Ukraine on Russian soil, it is estimated that they were authorized by the government.
